A macabre miss-your-tube-stop thriller in which online trolling turns into real-life terror for a young investigative journalist. By day, Sophie works for a celebrity scandal magazine. By night she’s a lifestyle blogger with a dedicated following, including an abusive troll. She goes missing after working on a potentially explosive exposure of a major TV star. While the police have all but given up on the case, her father, Fortune, a banker now based in Dubai, makes it his mission to uncover the truth (he refuses to believe the accusations that have been made about her). At the same time, two sets of large and seemingly random amounts of money vanish from the bank Fortune works for. He decodes the numbers, does more digging, and becomes entrapped in a web of revenge-driven horrors that seem set to destroy both their lives.
Driven by an excruciating sense of paranoia, and twist after twist after twist, this finely-plotted page-turner will keep you reading well into the wee hours. ~ Joanne Owen
