Publisher's Summary
A gripping, propulsive, and brilliantly original debut by award-winning journalist Louise Milligan.
She wonders if they have discovered she is missing yet? Has it broken as a story? Who has been assigned to cover it? Have they started spooling through her social media to pull out photographs? Constructing a narrative about who she is and what possible reason any person might have to kidnap or (let's be frank) kill her? She tries not to let out the whimper that is building in her sternum, at the thought that he might. Kill her, that is. He might kill her.
Kate Delaney has made the biggest mistake of her life. On a girls' night out, she picked the wrong sleazy guy to publicly humiliate in a bar, and now she is living every woman's worst nightmare.
She finds herself brutalized, bound, and gagged in the back of a car being driven god knows where by a man whose name she doesn't know, and petrified about what is in store for her.
As a journalist who is haunted by the crimes she's had to report over her career, Kate is terrifyingly familiar with the statistics of women who go missing–and the fear and trauma behind the headlines. She knows only too well how those stories usually end.
Kate can only hope the police will find her before it's too late, but she's aware a random crime is hardest to solve. As the clock ticks down, she tries to keep herself sane by thinking about her beloved boyfriend and friends, escaping into memories of love and happy times together. She knows she cannot give way to despair.
As the suspense escalates, Kate's boyfriend Liam is left behind, struggling with his shock, fear, and desperation as the police establish a major investigation. The detectives face their own feelings of anguish and futility as they reflect on the cases they didn't solve in time and the victims they couldn't save. They know Kate's chances of survival diminish with every passing hour.
Acclaimed and award-winning writer and journalist Louise Milligan has written a stunning and surprising thriller with a gigantic heart: a gripping, propulsive, and brilliantly original debut.

Fabulous book
This gripping novel is built from the truths Milligan has been investigating in her work for so long. It was realistic, tension filled, funny (believe it or not) and, ultimately, hopeful. She has written about things she knows deeply, from her work, schooling and life, and constructed an excellent novel, that shows the value of truth and of coming forward to tell the truths one holds.

Louise Milligan’s 1st novel is brilliant!
Beautifully crafted and written - an absolutely engaging piece and so extraordinarily well narrated by Sacha Horler both deserve awards for this!

The excessive swearing
Probably showing my age but I thought there was a little too much unnecessary swearing, apart from that the story was good

Excellent story, excellent narration
This is a unique and engaging crime fiction story which you can see is inspired by the horrific killing of Jill Meagher. Milligan has turned her investigative skill to fiction and clearly demonstrates her crime reporting background in the grit of the story, the humour employed and the liberal use of the word “c**t”. She has clearly spent a lot of time around courts and lawyers! Sacha Horler narrates this work perfectly. She’s both hilarious and somber throughout. Excellent listen, highly recommend!

Too much erroneous detail around a simple plot
Became very boring. Too long winded with lots of uninteresting stuff. More changes in mood and a little more time humour would have helped.
