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 *
Nick Lake is the Publishing Director at HarperCollins Children’s Books and is the author of The Secret Ministry of Frost, Blood Ninja and In Darkness, his first book for adults and older teen readers. Nick lives near Oxford.
