[Gone] by Mo Hayder
Jack Caffery Series Book #5
4★'s
Detective Jack Caffery’s newest case seems like a routine carjacking, a crime he’s seen plenty of times before until he realizes the sickening truth: the thief wasn’t after the car, but the 11-year-old girl in the backseat. Meanwhile police diver Sergeant Flea Marley is pursuing her own theory of the case, and what she finds in an abandoned, half-submerged tunnel could put her in grave danger. The carjacker is always a step ahead of the Major Crime Investigation Unit, and as the chances for his victims grow slimmer, Jack and Flea race to fit the pieces together in time.Like all Mo Hayder's books this one is filled with strong characters and an excellent, believable plot...but be aware that like all her books it is also dark and unsettling. The danger is real and ever-present, and she never gives you a guarantee of who is going to make it home at the end of the day. Jack Caffery is a detective that you will either really love or really hate but you will never, ever be bored when he is on the case.
