  94. About the Publisher

Hurry.

My chest is tight as I pull into my street, my driveway. A whimper of fear bursts from my lips as I see the front door swinging open.

Without waking Kieron, I half fall, half step out of the car, my shoes slipping on wet tarmac as I rush towards my house.

‘Connor?’ I am calling his name although there is a part of me instinctively knowing that he won’t answer.

Can’t answer.

‘Connor?’

The table in the hallway is lying on its side. My favourite green vase lies in shattered pieces over the oak floor. The lilies that had been left anonymously on the doorstep that I thought were from a well-meaning neighbour are strewn down the hallway.

Funeral flowers.

‘Hello?’ My voice is thin and shaky.

The cream wall by the front door is smeared in blood. Connor’s phone is on the floor, lying in a puddle of water from the vase. His screen is smashed. My feet race up the stairs towards his bedroom. A man’s voice drifts towards me. Without thinking of the danger I am potentially putting myself in, putting Kieron in, I push open Connor’s door just as shots are fired.

Instinctively I cover my head before I realize the sound is coming from the war game blaring out of Connor’s TV. Whoever he was playing with online is still continuing the game, unaware Connor has disappeared. His X-box controller is tangled on the floor along with his headphones.

His bedroom is empty.

My knees turn to rubber. I fall back against the wall.

The Taken.

It’s impossible.

I don’t know who has snatched my son, or why.

But somebody has.
