If you could only save one of your children, who would it be?

Seven-year-old Amelia and her five-year-old sister Poppy should have waited. But Mum was late, and home was only ten minutes away.

They never made it.

When a mother reports her daughters missing after dance class in Chesterfield, DI Ryan Hale knows every second counts. Then comes a text message that turns a desperate search into something far more sinister.
If you could get one back, who would you choose?

As Ryan and his team race to find the girls before time runs out, the investigation takes a devastating turn. Because across town, a police officer working the case has vanished. No trace. No witnesses. Just like Ryan’s wife, Jaime, who disappeared twelve years ago and was never found.

Ryan can’t afford distractions. Two little girls are out there and their kidnapper is one step ahead. But whoever took his wife is finally making their move.

They’ve been waiting for his return and now no one around him is safe.

Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, T.G. Reid, and Rachel McLean, EMPTY NEST is an unputdownable and gripping thriller that will keep you guessing until the final page.
