IN THE VIDEO, YOUR DAUGHTER IS DEAD. BUT UPSTAIRS, TUCKED IN BED, SHE'S VERY MUCH ALIVE...

Things have been difficult for Annie since her husband left; her teenage daughter, Isla, has become a ghost of her former self. Annie's terrified that Isla might hurt herself, and she'll lose her, too. So when Annie receives a video of her crying at her daughter's funeral, she's immediately sick to her stomach.

Confused and horrified, Annie races upstairs to check on Isla, who is perfectly alive and well. The video has been faked. But who sent it and what do they want?

Only one thing is perfectly clear: Isla will die for real if Annie doesn't give the sender exactly what they're looking for. But how high is too high a price to save her daughter's life?

The Deal is a thrilling and unputdownable novel that asks you how far you'd go to protect the ones you love. Perfect for fans of Adrian McKinty and Steve Cavanagh.
