OLIVIA.
22 years old.
Last seen on CCTV, entering a dead-end alley.
And not coming back out again.
Missing for one day and counting . . .

Julia is the detective heading up the case. She knows what to expect. A desperate family, a ticking clock, and long hours away from her husband and daughter. But Julia has no idea how close to home it's going to get.

Because there's a man out there. And his weapon isn't a gun, or a knife: it's a secret. Her worst one.

He tells her that her family's safety depends on one thing: Julia must NOT find out what happened to Olivia - and must frame somebody else for her murder . . .

Rezensionen

I've been known to create a few plot twists in my time, but there was a point during JUST ANOTHER MISSING PERSON where I sat up and shouted in shock. Gillian McAllister stunned me . . . and she will stun you too. I dare you to not ingest this in one sitting JODI PICOULT, No 1 New York Times bestselling author

"Gillian McAllister [has] quickly become one of my favorite authors working in the genre. This book is twisty and complex, with unexpected turns (so hard to do at this point, when so much ground has already been tread!) and characters you really root for. McAllister is the best at putting her characters in impossible situations and making her readers not only contemplate but feel what it would be like to find themselves in those situations." - Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"There was a point during Just Another Missing Person where I sat up and shouted in shock. Gillian McAllister stunned me . . . and she will stun you too. I dare you to not ingest this in one sitting."
- Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author

- Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"A heart-racing game of cat and mouse, horrifying puzzles and a jaw-dropping series of twists." - Woman's World

"McAllister piles twist on startling twist, but always in the service of carefully drawn characters with real human problems. A first class thriller"
- The Mail on Sunday

"A high-concept mash-up of different genres that transcends its wackadoodle premise with an affecting portrayal of a family careening toward crisis... But the science isn't the point of this twisty book by a writer with a fine grasp of the subtleties of familial dysfunction. The story becomes unexpectedly tender as Jen moves further back in time, in awe of the youth she let slip by so easily, and shocked by how much she did not know." - New York Times on Wrong Place Wrong Time

"Another ingeniously plotted genre-bender... McAllister succeeds in making us care, and the result is a tour de force." - The Guardian (UK) on Wrong Place Wrong Time
