Hostage Three by Nick Lake
It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing: a girl on a yacht with her super-rich banker father; a chance for the family to heal after a turbulent time; the peaceful sea, the warm sun . . . But a nightmare is about to explode as a group of Somali pirates seizes the boat and its human cargo - and the family becomes a commodity in a highly sophisticated transaction. Hostage 1 is Dad - the most valuable. Amy is Hostage 3. As she builds a strange bond with one of her captors, it becomes brutally clear that the price of a life and its value are very different things . . .
Praise for In Darkness: In Darkness is a serious, nuanced, challenging novelTrust me, there are plenty of young readers who hunger for exactly that * Guardian *
In Darkness is brutal and stark, poetic and soulful - and definitely worth keeping the light on for * Scotland on Sunday *
Nick Lake's stories are suspenseful, violent and very frightening. They are also honest, morally complex and powered by a huge genorosity of spirit. He's a terrific writer in both senses of the word * Mal Peet *
