They bury the body, and they make a promise. They'll never tell anyone. But when the police come calling, the siblings' lies start to spiral. They begin to doubt their trust in each other. Because what really happened that night? And who will be the first to crack? With the incredible twists and turns and a unique look at family relationships that McAllister has become known for, That Night is the ultimate summer thriller that asks: what would you do to protect your family?

Rikostutkinnan ABC: Älä oleta mitään, älä usko mitään, kyseenalaista kaikki. Järisyttävä trilleri, jossa katoamistutkinta ajaa etsivän mahdottoman moraalisen valinnan eteen. Kadonnut:Olivia, 22. Ei aiempaa karkailu- eikä mielenterveyshistoriaa. Nähty viimeksi valvontakameratallenteella kävelemässä umpikujalle. Ei näköhavaintoja sen jälkeen. Etsintää johtava ylikomisario Julia Day tietää mitä odottaa: epätoivoinen perhe, kellon armoton tikitys, unettomat yöt - kadonneiden etsinnät ovat aina kilpajuoksua aikaa vastaan. Mutta tämä tapaus on erilainen, sillä joku on juuri uhannut Juliaa, ja hänen perheensä turvallisuus riippuu yhdestä asiasta: poliisi ei saa löytää Oliviaa. Gillian McAllister (s. 1985) opiskeli kirjallisuutta ja oikeustiedettä ja työskenteli asianajajana ennen ryhtymistään kokopäiväiseksi kirjailijaksi. Hänen läpimurtoteoksensa Väärässä paikassa väärään aikaan (2023) oli maailmanlaajuinen bestseller, jonka myös Reese Witherspoon valitsi suosittuun lukupiiriinsä. McAllister on mestari luomaan moraalisia dilemmoja, jotka paljastavat, kuinka häilyvä raja oikean ja väärän välillä voi olla.

"An unputdownable adventure that was both heartwarming and thrilling Everything I've come to expect from Gillian McAllister " --Freida McFadden, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author "Only a Gillian McAllister thriller can make your heart race and then your heart melt from one page to the next I'm a devoted fan " --Liane Moriarty, #1 New York Times bestselling author How far would you go to rescue your child? A mother races against the clock--and finds herself on the wrong side of the law--in a desperate fight to save her teenage daughter in this pulse-pounding thriller from the author of Reese's Book Club Pick and New York Times bestseller Wrong Place Wrong Time. There is nothing that Simone won't do for her daughter, Lucy. The two have always been close, and with Lucy about to leave home for university, they depart the UK for a vacation to Texas to spend some quality time together. But when Simone awakens on their first morning in the desert, Lucy is gone, missing from their rental cabin. In her place is a cell phone, and a voice on the other line issues a shocking ransom demand. Don't tell the police. Come to this location. And be prepared to do a deal... Though Simone's husband urges her to bring in the authorities for help, she knows she can't take any chances. The kidnappers might kill Lucy if she tells anyone. No mother would take that risk. Instead, that night, she drives to the isolated meet-up. What she finds there changes everything. The mysterious kidnapper doesn't want money. They want Simone to do something. The unthinkable. A catastrophic chain of events is set in motion, with chilling consequences that extend beyond Simone and her family. What follows is a heart-pounding journey through the small towns and punishing deserts of remote Texas, in which Simone's courage--and morality--is pushed to the brink as she discovers what it truly means to be a mother. Unbearably tense, compassionately told, and full of well-crafted moral dilemmas, Caller Unknown proves once again why Gillian McAllister's thrillers are "the best of the best" (Lisa Jewell).
