Synopsis

Tenth Anniversary edition of the million-copy, bestselling novel No Time for Goodbye with a special introduction from Linwood Barclay.

'One of the world's finest thriller writers' Peter James

*

The house was silent. That was the first sign that something was terribly wrong.

Fourteen-year-old Cynthia wakes one morning to discover that her entire family - mother, father, brother - have vanished.

No note, no trace and no return. Ever.

Now, twenty-five years later - with a family of her own - a letter arrives which chills Cynthia to the core.

It leads her inescapably down the path to the devastating truth behind why they left.

Sometimes it's better not to know...

*

Praise for the masterful No Time for Goodbye:

'You won't get up until you've turned the last page' Michael Connelly

'Utterly riveting' Tess Gerritsen

'A terrific page-turner that keeps you in suspense' Peter Robinson
