Perfect for you if...

  • You love psychological thrillers where the protagonist is genuinely cornered and has to make impossible choices to protect her family.
  • You enjoy books with multiple mysteries layered together: the husband's disappearance, the children's abduction, and the identity of the person orchestrating it all.
  • You want a fast-paced read that grabs you from page one and doesn't let go, with a twist that actually reshapes what you thought you knew.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer character-driven literary fiction over plot-driven suspense.
  • You're sensitive to stories involving missing children or family trauma and need gentler reads.
  • You get frustrated when thrillers rely on unlikely coincidences or contrivances to move the plot forward.

About this book

Two years ago, Sara's husband disappeared after leaving for the gym one morning. His car was found, but he was not. Despite the mysterious circumstances, the police report concluded there was no foul play. A few unreliable sightings occurred in the months that followed, but little else came to light. Now, on the last day before summer break, Sara's three children go missing from their schools simultaneously. A note left under her windshield wiper poses a single question: Are you ready to play the game?
