Slater, J D Kirk and Freida McFadden I glanced away for a second, and she was gone. It was supposed to be a relaxing day at the beach. An escape from everything that's been going on recently. Bonnie was right there beside me. In her yellow swimming costume. And then, in a split second, she wasn't. My heart plummets and I call out. I try to tell myself this happens. It's a busy day in a popular sun spot. She'll soon be back in my arms. But deep down I know that's not true. This whole week I've known I'm in danger. The threats. The notes. The multiple warnings. But my child? I may not be perfect but I never thought they'd take it out on Bonnie. My poor defenceless baby. As I scan the shoreline for a glimpse of my precious little one, I steel myself. I will do anything to get my daughter back. Praise for Ruby Speechley: 'Secrets, lies and betrayal, this book has the lot!
