Girl Taken: Gripping Psychological Thriller

A gripping thriller that will blow readers away, the bestselling author of Twenty Years Later delivers a chilling narrative where nothing is as it seems, and each revelation is more shocking than the last, culminating in a jaw-dropping final twist. "A superb storyteller," raves New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni.

Two abducted high school seniors, Nicole Cutty and Megan McDonald, vanish from a beach party in their small North Carolina town of Emerson Bay. As a massive search is launched, hope all but fades—until Megan miraculously escapes from a woodland bunker a year later.

Megan's bestselling account of her ordeal has made her a celebrity, her triumphant story overshadowed by a glaring omission: Nicole is still missing. Nicole's forensic pathologist sister, Livia, expects Nicole's body to surface soon, granting closure. Instead, the first clue emerges from another body—that of a young man connected to Nicole's past. Livia reaches out to Megan, suspecting the cases are linked as more girls disappear.

Megan harbors secrets she omitted from her published narrative. Unsettling flashes of memory point to an even more monstrous truth than she initially revealed. As Megan and Livia delve deeper, they realize that sometimes the most terrifying outcome is finding exactly what you've been searching for.

"A gripping thriller that will blow readers away," praises New York Times bestselling author Mary Kubica of Don't Believe It. With each twist and turn, this chilling tale keeps readers on the edge of their seats, culminating in a final revelation that will leave them reeling. The bestselling author of Twenty Years Later has crafted a masterful story where the line between truth and fiction blurs, and the most shocking twists lie in wait until the very end.
