Publisher: Endeavour Press
Summary
After staring death in the eye and walking away triumphant, although not unscathed, from her fight with cancer, Hannah Ives has had more than her share of hardships… But even the physical reminder of such terror in the form of her mastectomy scar is nothing in comparison to the heart wrenching realisation when Hannah's grandson disappears. With the opening of her daughter and son-in-law's luxury spa, things are all go for the family with busy preparations for the grand opening. Everyone is involved in running around and helping out. But amongst all this hustle and bustle, evil is lurking and the family are soon faced with the devastating realisation that one-year-old Timmy has been taken from the protective heart of their family. As the world comes crashing down around Hannah and her family, one question resonates throughout. Who has taken Timmy? And what do they have planned for him? With a family torn apart by shock and grief, Hannah is determined to return her grandson to his devastated mother and father. But will Hannah be able to handle what she discovers? When even loyal and trusted friends reveal dark and sinister pasts, Hannah and her family are overcome with mounting suspicion and paranoia. And as time goes on and no ransom note appears, Timmy's fate soon becomes a lot less clear and a lot more perilous. Through the Darkness is a chilling mystery that is as emotional as it is absorbing.
