AlbakiReads Editorial

A rescue shaped by impossible choices

A Texas vacation becomes a kidnapping crisis when Simone wakes to find her teenage daughter, Lucy, missing and a ransom demand on a phone. The kidnappers ask for something other than money, drawing Simone into a situation where every decision carries moral consequences. As she moves through remote Texas towns and desert landscapes, the novel links a mother’s effort to save her child with questions of family loyalty, responsibility, and the limits of what she will do. The suspense turns on the gap between seeking help and fearing that doing so could put Lucy in greater danger.

  • Readers interested in suspense centered on a parent’s effort to rescue a child.
  • Those drawn to thrillers involving ransom demands, difficult decisions, and moral dilemmas.
  • Readers looking for a thriller set across small towns and desert landscapes in Texas.

Book overview

A READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON TODAY - "An unputdownable adventure that was both heartwarming and thrilling! Everything I've come to expect from Gillian McAllister!" --Freida McFadden, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

How far would you go to rescue your child? A mother races against the clock--and finds herself on the wrong side of the law--in a desperate fight to save her teenage daughter in this pulse-pounding thriller from the author of Reese's Book Club Pick and New York Times bestseller Wrong Place Wrong Time.

Your last words to your teenage daughter were, "Sleep well." By the next morning, she has vanished.

Her bed not slept in, an unfamiliar phone in her place. Before you have time to catch your breath, it rings.

CALLER UNKNOWN

Someone has taken your daughter. They don't tell you where. They don't tell you why.

Only that you must do what they say to ever see her again. Do not contact the police. If you do, they will kill her. You and your husband disagree about what to do next.

You have a choice: do you risk contacting the authorities anyway?

Or, do you take the law - and your daughter's life - into your own hands?
