Mackenzie Darroch

If no one knows you're in danger, no one can save you... The Baxter house in the Lowther Hills, in Scotland, has been up for sale for decades. It's dilapidated and near-derelict, and nobody is interested in it. But, for one potential buyer, the remote location and rat-infested cellar are just what he's looking for. For the first year, Mackenzie's marriage to Derek was ideal. Now though, Derek believes she is having an affair, and when she fears her husband is becoming controlling, she knows she's made a terrible mistake. But, Mackenzie has a drinking problem, so when she threatens to leave Derek and then disappears, no one believes she has been abducted. It will fall to DS Geddes to untangle the truth... Owen Mullen is a best-selling author of psychological and gangland thrillers. His fast-paced, twist-aplenty stories are perfect for all fans of Robert Galbraith, Ian Rankin and Ann Cleeves.

Five-years ago, Mackenzie Darroch was abducted and held captive in a derelict house. She thought she'd found her way out of the darkness. She was wrong... When Mackenzie witnesses a car crash and saves the driver's life, it sets in motion a chain of events that will alter both their futures. The two women get involved in a high-profile police case, which draws the attention of a ruthless reporter. Gina Calvi is convinced Mackenzie is not who she appears and is prepared to do anything to prove it. Meanwhile, across the city, Kirsty McBride, a young single mother, is persuaded to leave a violent relationship. Her partner, Malkie Boyle a Glasgow hardman, is due to be released from prison. Once back on the street and bent on revenge, Boyle is determined to find the people responsible for stealing his family from him. Can Mackenzie save them or will Boyle get his revenge?
