The Runaway

Perfect for fans of Claire Douglas and Jane Corry

ONCE YOU JOIN THE TRIBE, YOU'RE THERE FOR LIFE.

Becca Ortiz, Los Angeles Police Department psychologist, is fostering teenage runaway Ash.

But Ash can't bring herself to trust a cop, not after what she's been through. Her boyfriend Nate introduces her to the Tribe, his street-smart crew of delinquents and runaways, and Ash finally feels like she's found a home among the homeless.

So one night, she disappears. And as Becca frantically searches for her missing foster daughter, Ash finds herself entangled in the shadows of a criminal underworld, beginning to realise that there may be no way to leave the Tribe without paying a deadly price.

The search for a teenage runaway sends her foster mother, a psychologist working for the LAPD, on a dangerous journey through Los Angeles' criminal underworld, in this gripping new thriller by the author of the international bestseller Baby Doll and The Walls.
