Sinopse

A ransom demand leads to secrets revealed, in this twisting crime suspense from the author of The Victim. Eleven-year-old Danny Stone is snatched on his way home from school, bundled into the back of a van, and driven to a remote, deserted farmhouse. Danny’s parents, Martha and Richard, are frantic when their only child goes missing and call the police. Their home in Bristol is searched, and their lives and Richard’s career as a solicitor come under scrutiny. Finally, a ransom demand arrives. Martha wants to pay, but Richard procrastinates. When he leaves the house, Martha searches through his papers. It’s clear her husband has been keeping something from her. But as she tries to untangle his lies, while the police continue their search, Richard risks a dangerous negotiation on his own. And the question remains—how long can Danny survive?

    The raging storm is locking everyone inside. But something far deadlier is trying to get out. 
    In the water-laced province of Morrowfen, licensed ferryman Easton Evans has spent his life cultivating the persona of a universally loved host. But when a massive, relentless flood traps a desperate group of travelers inside his sprawling, heavy-timbered ferry house, Easton's comfortable illusion is shattered. While completing his provincial manifest, he discovers four forged transit chits bearing the impossible signature of a dead lock inspector. Reporting the terrified fugitives will send them to a brutal fate; hiding their secrets makes him an accomplice to a major provincial crime. 
    Before Easton can figure out a way to cover his tracks, the unthinkable happens: one of the fugitives vanishes entirely from the tightly locked building. With the arrival of Dennis Daniels, a ruthless local official demanding strict compliance and structural searches, the clock starts ticking. Easton must plunge into the darkest, flooded corners of the ferry house cellar to solve the locked-room mystery and protect the remaining refugees—before the landbound authorities discover the truth and send him to the dredging camps. 
    Why you will love this: This atmospheric fantasy masterfully blends intense locked-room mystery with high-stakes survival. Fans of immersive dark fantasy, complex character studies, and suspenseful cat-and-mouse thrillers will be gripped by the claustrophobic tension of a storm-battered safe haven turned deadly trap. 
    John Newbill's evocative storytelling and cinematic narration perfectly capture the chilling, atmospheric dread of a world on the brink of drowning.
