The Girl Who Was Taken by Charlie Donlea
The bestselling author of Twenty Years Later delivers a chilling thriller where nothing is at it seems and each reveal is more shocking than the last...right up to the jaw-dropping final twist."A gripping thriller that will blow readers away." -Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author on Don't Believe It
"A superb storyteller." --Robert Dugoni, New York Times bestselling author
Two abducted girls--one who returns, one who doesn't.
The night they go missing, high school seniors Nicole Cutty and Megan McDonald are at a beach party in their small town of Emerson Bay, North Carolina. Police launch a massive search, but hope is almost lost--until Megan escapes from a bunker deep in the woods...A year later, the bestselling account of her ordeal has made Megan a celebrity. It's a triumphant story, except for one inconvenient detail: Nicole is still missing.
Nicole's older sister, Livia, a fellow in forensic pathology, expects that one day soon Nicole's body will be found and her sister's fate determined. Instead, the first clue comes from another body--that of a young man connected to Nicole's past. Livia reaches out to Megan to learn more about that fateful night. Other girls have disappeared, and she's increasingly sure the cases are connected.
Megan knows more than she revealed in her book. Flashes of memory are pointing to something more monstrous than she described. And the deeper she and Livia dig, the more they realize that sometimes true terror lies in finding exactly what you've been looking for...
Summit Lake, The Girl Who Was Stolen, Don't Believe It, Some Choose Darkness, The Suicide House, and Twenty Years Later are among Charlie Donlea's international bestsellers.
