The brand new psychological thriller from the Top 10 Sunday Times bestselling author You can run. You can hide. But you belong to me.

It was the case of the decade. A 15-year-old girl on her way to school, vanished without a trace. The world feared the worst - but then, after months, she was discovered in a church crypt, lying alive beside the dead body of her kidnapper.

Now, 26 years later, Esmeralda Avelar has worked hard to leave her traumatic past behind. She has forged a new identity, and a new career as a police detective.

But the past refuses to stay buried. Because notorious serial killer Jason Thorne has escaped from his secure psychiatric hospital, and he has a new obsession... to find Esmeralda, the girl who got away, and make her his.
