Suppose you come to pick up your daughter from her job- and find that no one has heard of her and she's never worked there. If she hasn't been working all day, what has she been doing?
Tim Blake's teenage daughter Sydney is staying with him while she works a summer job at a hotel. But when one day she fails to arrive home from her shift and the staff at the hotel say they have no Sydney Blake working there, he begins to see his life going into freefall.
What could have made her step out of her life without leaving a trace? Only one thing convinces Tim that the worst hasn't already happened- the fact that some very scary people seem just as eager to find her.
The question is: who's going to find her first?
This is the second book I've read by Linwood Barclay and it was a very good read, the characters are really well developed, the suspense is there although at times it does take a while to get to the point or next part of the plot. I could identify with Tim and his frustrations with his ex wife, her new man, the police not believing him and his desperation to get his daughter back. There are, as expected lots of twists and turns throughout the book, I did figure out a few seconds before I read the ending what was going to happen.
7/10
