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

This book gave me anxiety and had me stressed out, but I couldn't put it down. And, I love a happy ending. Though this book isn't a true story, knowing that people like this exist in our world, is terrifying. Since I was little, I would give each book I read a letter grade. I give this one an A-

I could really get into the plot. I like a book that is just as good as watching a crime show. I recomended it to a freind and she couldnt put it down

I bought this on sale for something inexpensive to do while offshore without internet. I was very pleased with this book. It was good from the very start and remained exciting til the end. Thanks!
