KIDNAP (Book 2) – February 2022

  • #64 Amazon Australia

The man climbs a ladder, slides a gloved finger through the slightly open window, and enters the room. He wraps 14-month-old Joshua Banks in his blanket and takes him from his cot. In his place, the man leaves a printed note: Do not call the police. You will receive details for a bank transfer in due course. Your child will be well cared for and be returned unharmed provided you do exactly as you are told. Call the police and we will kill him. If you are in any doubt as to the seriousness of this, then call this number.

At 2 a.m., Joshua’s mother gets up to go to the toilet and sees her son is gone. She calls the phone number. It’s for another family whose child was also taken. Detectives Toby Clarke and Petra Merrow are in a race against time to get Joshua back. Because if they don’t find him soon, he won’t be the last child to go missing.
