In the summer of 2006, Emma Price watched helplessly as her six-year-old son's red coat was fished out of the River Ouse. It was the tragic story of the year - a little boy, Aiden, wandered away from school during a terrible flood, fell into the river, and drowned. His body was never recovered. Ten years later, Emma has finally rediscovered the joy in life. She's married, pregnant, and in control again... ... until Aiden returns. Too traumatized to speak, he raises endless questions and answers none. Only his body tells the story of his decade-long disappearance. The historic broken bones and injuries cast a mere glimpse into the horrors Aiden has experienced. Aiden never drowned. Aiden was taken. As Emma attempts to reconnect with her now teenage son, she must unmask the monster who took him away from her. But who, in their tiny village, could be capable of such a crime? It's Aiden who has the answers, but he cannot tell her the unspeakable. This dark and disturbing psychological novel is a page-turner you will not be able to put down.

"I really hate when I guess the “twist” ending really early on…I liked the book at first. But then I quickly realized that it was going to be slow and drawn out with too much filler and I almost didn’t finish."

"It’s a great easy read. It kept me wanting to read chapter after chapter. It’s suspenseful and had me second guessing how it would end. "

"For a long time Ken Follet was my favorite author. I was very into historical fiction with a twist :) I’m getting more into thrillers right now so I’m not as well-versed with the authors. "
