The Stolen

Australian crime fiction at its unputdownable best
From the award-winning author of The Unbelieved comes another unputdownable thriller featuring fierce and fearless detective Antigone Pollard – this is Australian crime fiction at its best.
Step into the dark heart of small-town Australia in this gripping follow-up to the award-winning The Unbelieved – perfect for fans of Chris Hammer’s Scrublands and Jane Harper’s The Dry.

After a calm start to the summer holiday season, the small coastal town of Deception Bay is rocked by a report of a missing baby. Detective Antigone Pollard steps up to lead the team searching for the kidnapper, but the case is complicated by the return of her old boss, Bill Wheeler, who seems determined to thwart her progress.
 
To make matters worse, the frantic investigation is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Antigone’s mother in need of her help. As family secrets threaten to spill over, and with time running out to find the missing baby, Antigone finds herself fighting on two fronts and facing the same two questions. Who’s protecting the women? And what happens when we don’t believe them?
