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:'A very tense situational thriller that had me guessing right up to the end. I loved it!' Dawn Goodwin'A brilliant read. Such an anxiety-inducing, suspenseful domestic thriller!' Alice Hunter'A compelling and original page-turner!' Roz Watkins'A talent to watch' Sam Blake
