by **Nicole Trope** (Author)

**Read the chilling and completely heartwrenching story of a mother's worst nightmare: her child being stolen--and what happens when he returns--from the author of _The Family Across the Street_.** _Six years ago_

Megan waits at the school gates for her six-year-old son, Daniel. As the playground empties, panic bubbles inside her. Daniel is nowhere to be found. Her darling son is missing.

_Six years later_

After years of sleepless nights and endless days of missing her son, Megan finally gets the call she has been dreaming about. Daniel has walked into a police station in a remote town just a few miles away.

Megan is overjoyed--her son is finally coming home. She has kept Daniel's room, with his Cookie Monster poster on the wall and a stack of Lego under the bed, in perfect shape to welcome him back. But when he returns, there is something different about Daniel . . .

According to the police, Daniel was kidnapped by his father. After his dad died in a fire, Daniel was finally able to escape. Desperate to find out the truth, Megan tries to talk to her little boy--but he barely answers her questions. Longing to help him heal, Megan tries everything--his favourite chocolate milkshake, a reunion with his best friend, a present for every birthday missed--but still, Daniel is distant.

And as they struggle to connect, Megan begins to suspect that there is more to the story. Soon, she fears that her son is hiding a secret. A secret that could destroy her family . . .

### Author Biography

**Nicole Trope** went to university to study Law but realised the error of her ways when she did very badly on her first law essay because--as her professor pointed out--'It's not meant to be a story.' She studied teaching instead and used her holidays to work on her writing career and complete a Masters' degree in Children's Literature. After the birth of her first child she stayed home full time to write and raise children, renovate houses and build a business with her husband.

The idea for her first published novel, _The Boy Under the Table,_ was so scary that it took a year for her to find the courage to write the emotional story. Her second novel, _Three Hours Late_, was voted one of Fifty Books you can't put down in 2013 and her third novel, _The Secrets in Silence_, was The Australian Woman's Weekly Book of the month for June 2014.

She lives in Sydney with her husband and three children.
