The perfect disappearence – Paperback

It was only five minutes. Five minutes late at the school gate, and five-year-old Lucas was gone.

The teaching assistant saw him leave with a woman. He went without a moment’s hesitation, as if he knew her well. A gray car was waiting down the road.

For Ingrid, a business lawyer used to holding herself together, a nightmare begins. There are police interviews and false leads, ransom demands from strangers, and suspicion that falls on everyone close to her, even the man she loves. Weeks go by, the investigation stalls, and the case is closed. But a mother’s instinct does not close so easily.

Eleven years later, on the other side of the world, a teenage boy opens a box of old papers and finds out that his whole life has been built on a lie.

“The Perfect Disappearance” is a gripping psychological thriller about family secrets, a mother’s unbreakable bond, and how far one person will go to keep a child for himself.
