Readers are obsessed with THE NUMBERS:
'The twists were outstanding' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'An absolute must read' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'Relentlessly readable and deeply satisfying' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

It starts with the numbers - on street signs, outside homes and train stations.

Next come the messages:

10 15 is coming

Then, one by one, people begin to disappear. No note, no ransom, just the numbers scrawled on their bedroom walls.

Deciphering who is behind the disappearances, and what the numbers could mean, quickly becomes a national obsession. And as the kidnappings escalate into acts of brutality, with still no demands from those responsible, one thing becomes clear...

This is only the beginning.

Critic reviews

A stunning debut filled with action, twists, and turns, THE NUMBERS is a conspiracy thriller made for this moment. You might think you're keeping up-but you're not. Read on-and watch your back! (Gregg Hurwitz, #1 Sunday Times bestseller of Orphan X)
A brilliantly clever conspiracy thriller. Smart, sinister and deviously plotted, this is a remarkable thriller. Highly recommended. (M. W. Craven, bestselling author of the Washington Poe series)
Relentlessly paced and with a killer concept, you might want to clear your schedule before you start reading this as it's unputdownable.
Starts at a hundred miles an hour and just gets faster. Maintains its joyously exhilarating pace from the first page to the last. (Chris Brookmyre, bestselling author of The Cracked Mirror)
High-octane, whip-smart, and totally gripping - The Numbers adds up to a brilliant read! (Julia Chapman, author of the Dales Detective series)
The Numbers is a remarkably assured debut thriller - pacy, original and truly gripping. It grabbed me by the throat from page one and didn't let go till the end... (Ajay Chowdhury, author of the Detective Kamil Rahman series)
An electric, pulse-pounding, razor-sharp mystery that pulls you in from page one, grips you through every twist and turn, and doesn't let go until its explosive ending. Packed with intrigue, action, and clever plotting, The Numbers is perfect for fans of David Baldacci and Harlan Coben.
