Chain by Hinkler Pty Ltd (English) Paperback Book

Description: Chain by Hinkler Pty Ltd When a mother is targeted by a dangerous group of masterminds, she must commit a crime to save her kidnapped daughter--or risk losing her forever--in this "propulsive and original" award-winning thriller (Stephen King). Its something parents do every morning: Rachel Klein drops her daughter at the bus stop and heads into her day. But a cell phone call from an unknown number changes everything: its a woman on the line, informing her that she has Kylie bound and gagged in her back seat, and the only way Rachel will see her again is to follow her instructions exactly: pay a ransom, and find another child to abduct. This is no ordinary kidnapping: the caller is a mother herself, whose son has been taken, and if Rachel doesnt do as shes told, the boy will die. "You are not the first. And you will certainly not be the last."Rachel is now part of The Chain, an unending and ingenious scheme that turns victims into criminals--and is making someone else very rich in the process. The rules are simple, the moral challenges impossible; find the money fast, find your victim, and then commit a horrible act youd have thought yourself incapable of just twenty-four hours ago. But what the masterminds behind The Chain know is that parents will do anything for their children. It turns out that kidnapping is only the beginning. "McKinty is one of the most striking and most memorable crime voices to emerge on the scene in years. His plots tempt you to read at top speed, but dont give in: this writing--sharply observant, intelligent and shot through with black humor--should be savored." --Tana French "A masterpiece. You have never read anything quite like The Chain and you will never be able to forget it." --Don Winslow "Diabolical, unnerving, and gives a whole new meaning to the word "relentless". Adrian McKinty just leapt to the top of my list of must-read suspense novelists. Hes the real deal." --Dennis Lehane "Pairing an irresistible concept with a winner protagonist, The Chain promises to be your new addiction once you succumb to the first enticing page." --Alafair Burke "A grade-A-first-rate-edge-of-your-seat thriller. I cant believe what went through my mind while reading it." --Attica Locke FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Hinkler is a global, independent publisher based in Melbourne, Australia.

Review There are currently no reviews for this title/product Review Quote "You have never read anything quite like The Chain and you will never be able to forget it. Brilliant. Beautifully written. A masterpiece of tension. The Chain scared the hell out of me but I could not put it down! I raced to the end of the book and then went back to see how Adrian McKinty pulled it all off. The Chain belongs in the elite company of world-class thrillers like Gone Girl and The Silence of the Lambs . This is nothing short of JAWS for parents."-- Don Winslow, New York Times bestselling author of The Cartel and The Force Details ISBN0316463256 Language English ISBN-10 0316463256 ISBN-13 9780316463256 Imprint Mulholland Books Publisher Mulholland Books Format Paperback Year 2021 Publication Date 2021-12-28 AU Release Date 2021-12-28 NZ Release Date 2021-12-28 US Release Date 2021-12-28 UK Release Date 2021-12-28 DEWEY 813.54 Audience General Author Hinkler Pty Ltd Pages 1 Country of Publication Australia We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
