Gone: A BRAND NEW totally unputdownable, gripping psychological thriller from Ruby Speechley for 2023

My son is missing, and everyone is lying to me. Last night my son, Shay, sneaked out of the house and didn't come home. He promised not to go to the illegal party in the woods. But someone's been attacked and Shay has gone missing. The police want to know if he saw what happened. I'm worried he could be involved. After all the trouble he's been in lately, mixing with the wrong crowd, coming home beaten up and scared, I thought we'd put it all behind us. Trouble is, Shay resents me moving my new boyfriend into the family home. I found all sorts on his laptop, including a half-written email warning me not to trust David. What does he know that I don't? I'm beginning to fear for his safety. What is David hiding from me? Who have I let into our lives? I don't know who I can trust. Will I ever see my son alive again?
