What could be worse than a child going missing? When it’s your best friend’s child. And it was on your watch... An emotionally fraught psychological thriller and a shrewd examination of family life - and the evil that can lie beneath. NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES, starring Anna Friel.

The basis for DEEP WATER, now a major ITV TV series, starring Anna Friel.

'One of the most hypnotically gripping books I've read in a long, long time.' TESS GERRITSEN

Your friend's child is missing. It's your fault.

No family is perfect.

A husband, three children and a full-time job, so many plates to keep spinning.

No wonder you forgot you were supposed to be looking after your friend's daughter.

But no one has seen her since yesterday.

And she's not the first to go missing from your small town.

So who's hiding something?

'She writes with a singular voice and a passion that roars off the page . . . With a sharp, double-twist ending it announces Daly as a potential star' Daily Mail

'Fiendishly addictive' Guardian

'Riveting! Daly plunges straight into the heart of every parent's worst nightmare with page-turning results' Lisa Gardner

'The sort of book that causes you to lose half a day without even noticing' Elizabeth Haynes, author of Into the Darkest Corner
