A race against time to save her child...

In seven days, Maggie’s son, Max, turns three. But she’s not planning a party or buying presents or updating his baby book. She’s dreading it. Because in her world, third birthdays are the days on which the unthinkable happens... she loses her child.

For the last twelve years Maggie has been imprisoned in a basement. Abducted aged fifteen, she gave birth to two sons before Max, and on their third birthdays her captor came and took them from her.

She cannot let it happen again. But she has no idea how to stop it. And the clock is ticking...

Ratings and reviews

Loved it! I typically read mystery books and am judging them based on how many twists the story has and how soon I can figure out who's done "it." This is not one of those books. You know who did it towards the beginning so you're just forced to experience the storytelling. The writing is very good and the narration just brings it to life. Just sitting back and listening without having to think is a new experience for me, and I quite enjoyed it with this book.
