How many wrongs will put things right? Kenny has just discovered he only has weeks to live. He is still a young man and there are things he needs to do before he dies. More than anything else he wants to find his childhood friend, Callie Barton, the girl he sat next to in class. But when Kenny starts searching, Callie cannot be found. She has gone missing. Her husband Jonathan has been cleared of the crime, but seems to hiding something. Kenny has nothing to lose, so takes on the search himself, but not even he could begin to imagine how far that search will have to go . . . "Cross is a wonderful writer, full of mordant psychological insights…Britain's own Stephen King" - Guardian "Once again Cross proves that he's not just a master of suspense, but horror too" - Daily Mirror "Cross's clear, precise style makes for a compelling, read-in-one-sitting thriller. Yet there is more to this novel - brooding questions of morality, mortality and responsibility." - Word "Typically gripping." - Uncut "Original and thoughtful…an authentic, unsparing vision of goodwill undone by misfortune." - Times Literary Supplement "Gripping" - Scotsman "A psychological thriller for which the word "page-turner" might have been coined…Cross's latest certainly thrills" - Metro Neil Cross (b. 1969) is a British novelist and screenwriter best known as the creator of the multi award-winning international hit BBC crime series Luther, starring Idris Elba, and the international hit horror movie Mama.
