Summary
It takes a whole village to save a child in this breath-taking standalone thriller from the acclaimed author of The Jimmy Mullen Series.
It wasn't her dad they were after—it was her.
Ruby Winter is surprised when her reclusive father invites a strange solider into their house. Intrigued, she tries to eavesdrop on their conversation, but is alarmed when she hears a fight break out. She dashes into the kitchen to save her dad, but he's not the one in trouble.
The soldier has been stabbed and is bleeding out on the floor. Refusing her pleas to call an ambulance, her dad urges her to pack a bag—they have to run. As they try to escape her dad is shot and Ruby is chased by one of the soldier's comrades but is hidden by Lucas, a boy she has ignored up till now.
Ruby and Lucas saw a military-style ambulance whisk her dad away. She is desperate to find him but the village is quickly under siege. The roads in have been blocked and soldiers are patrolling the streets urging everyone to stay indoors for their own safety.
Ruby must work out who took her father and why. But what if learning the truth means discovering the life she once knew was a lie?
Critic reviews
"Fast paced and gripping but with a heart of solid gold. Great stuff." (Harriet Tyce)
"I raced through it. I loved the characters and the dark humour. A cracking, pacy read." (Patricia Gibney)
"A tour de force. From behind the twitching curtains of a small divided village a force of unlikely ne'er do wells come together in this edgy, electrifying modern thriller. Once again Wood proves himself a brilliant champion of the underdog." (William Shaw)

Fantastic!
A great story that had you going from minute one. Great depth given to the characters, who you got to know well. It’s always a good read/listen when you’re sad it ends.

A little far fetched but
I did enjoy this story but it was possibly a bit too long for what was needed.
Nevertheless- Sarah Durham is always an absolute joy to listen to and for that I enjoyed the book
