«Il envisageait de changer de file quand le visage d'une fillette apparut dans le pare-brise arrière, parfaitement encadré par les autocollants écaillés. Elle semblait avoir cinq ou six ans. Visage lunaire, joues roses. Fins cheveux blonds rassemblés en deux couettes hautes. La première chose qu'il se dit, c'est qu'elle aurait dû être attachée. La deuxième fut:Izzy.»Depuis ce jour, Gabe n'a jamais revu sa fille. Trois ans après le drame, il arpente jour et nuit l'autoroute dans l'espoir de la retrouver.De leur côté, Fran et Alice passent aussi leur temps en voiture... mais pour fuir ceux qui leur veulent du mal.Leurs histoires convergent vers un même groupe:Les Autres. Soumettez-leur une requête, ils trouveront une solution. Mais à quel prix?

"Une nuit, Annie a disparu de son lit. Il y a eu des recherches. Tout le monde imaginait le pire. Finalement, au bout de quarante-huit heures, ma petite soeur est revenue. Mais elle ne voulait pas - ou ne souhaitait pas - dire ce qui s'était passé. Quelque chose lui est arrivé. Je ne peux pas expliquer quoi. Je sais juste que, quand elle est rentrée à la maison, elle n'était plus la même. Elle n'était plus ma Annie.
Je ne voulais pas avouer aux autres et encore moins à moi-même que, parfois, j'avais peur d'elle. Et puis, il y a deux mois, j'ai reçu un e-mail : Je sais ce qui est arrivé à votre soeur. Ca recommence. "

Or when they found the first body? ____________ THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, ALSO SHORTLISTED FOR THE STEEL DAGGER, BEST THRILLER AWARD . . . 'A must-read' Daily Express 'A tense gripper with a leave-the-lights-on shock ending' Sunday Times 'Deliciously creepy with a side order of Eighties nostalgia' Good Housekeeping 'Plenty of plot twists and an evocative portrait of small-town-life in the 1980s . . . a riveting read' Guardian 'There are shades of Stephen King when the reality bends into the sinister, and a deliciously creepy finale' Daily Mail 'Wonderfully creepy - like a cold blade on the back of your neck' LEE CHILD 'It's a very clever story - you'll love it!'

'Some writers have it, and some don't. C. J. Tudor has it big time - The Taking of Annie Thorne is terrific in every way' Lee Child 'Dark, gothic and utterly compelling, The Taking of Annie Thorne pulls off a rare combination - an atmosphere of unsettling evil along with richly nuanced characterisation' J. P. Delaney 'Deliciously creepy, and written with such skill and fluency it's hard to believe this is only her second book. Indeed I think it gives King a run for his money' James Oswald The new spine-tingling, sinister thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Chalk Man . . . _______________ One night, Annie went missing. Disappeared from her own bed. There were searches, appeals. Everyone thought the worst. And then, miraculously, after forty-eight hours, she came back. But she couldn't, or wouldn't, say what had happened to her. Something happened to my sister. I can't explain what. I just know that when she came back, she wasn't the same. She wasn't my Annie. I didn't want to admit, even to myself, that sometimes I was scared to death of my own little sister. _______________ 'With shades of Pet Sematary and an all-round aura of creepiness, The Taking of Annie Thorne cements C. J. Tudor's position as a major new talent at the dark heart of crime writing. Brilliant.' Fiona Cummins, author of Rattle 'Deliciously creepy, impeccably plotted and laced with both wicked humor and genuine shocks, The Taking of Annie Thorne is the kind of read-under-the-covers thriller you didn't think people wrote anymore. Lucky for us, C. J. Tudor still does. An absolute corker of a book' Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of Final Girls and The Last Time I Lied 'I loved it. The quality of her writing meant it was an absolute pleasure to read, as well as being genuinely terrifying. It made my hair stand on end! Genius' Emma Curtis author of One Little Mistake _______________ Praise for C. J. Tudor . . .
