About this listen
In a chilling tale drawn from the haunting realities of high-profile child abductions, The Child Taker immerses readers in a desperate race against time. Five-year-old twins vanish from their tent in the serene Lake District, thrusting their family into a nightmare and sparking a frenetic hunt for a sinister paedophile ring. With police protocol dictating that 60% of abducted children are murdered within the first four hours—an hour they refer to as the "golden hour"—every second counts. As the investigation intensifies, the clock ticks mercilessly, plunging detectives into a dark world of manipulation and fear. Will they uncover the truth before it’s too late? The Child Taker is a heart-pounding thriller filled with nail-biting tension, unexpected twists, and the relentless hope of recovering the innocent.
Guardian Reviews: “One of the best thriller novels around, packed with action and twists.”
