Life can change in an instant. Lucy has everything: a beautiful home on the clifftops, a devoted husband, and two beloved children. Then one morning, time halts. Their family yacht is found abandoned at sea, and Lucy's husband is missing. As the seconds pass, she wonders if he took the boat and where he might be. A once-in-a-generation storm complicates the rescue, prompting Lucy to piece together the events onboard. A shocking discovery plunges her into a nightmare: her children are also missing. Reviewers praise the writing as beautifully evocative, with a strong sense of place and tension.

The narrative is a cleverly crafted page-turner, with each page delivering a fresh jolt to the reader. About the Author: Sam Lloyd, raised in Hampshire, developed a passion for storytelling.
