Details:

The “dark, twisted, thought-provoking”* international bestseller—first in the series featuring Detective Helen Grace. Two people are abducted, imprisoned, and left with a gun. As hunger and thirst set in, only one walks away alive. It’s a game more twisted than any Detective Helen Grace has ever seen. If she hadn’t spoken with the shattered survivors herself, she almost wouldn’t believe them. Helen is familiar with the dark sides of human nature, including her own, but this case—with its seemingly random victims—has her baffled. But as more people go missing, nothing will be more terrifying than when it all starts making sense.... *#1  New York Times bestseller Tami Hoag

But when you’re a prisoner, the days seem endless and hope is the first thing to die. I rack my brains for happy memories to hold off the dark thoughts, but they are harder and harder to summon. We’ve been here only ten days (or is it eleven?), yet normal life already seems a distant memory. We were hitching back from a gig in London when it happened.
