Evil is stalking South Africa’s Sabi Sand Game Reserve. Viewers around the world are shocked when a live lockdown webcast of a safari game drive exposes them to the brutal reality of rhino poaching. A wily poacher then disappears into thin air, confounding logic and baffling ace trackers Mia Greenaway and Bongani Ngobeni.
Detective Colonel Sannie van Rensburg, still reeling from a personal tragedy, is dealing with an angry community on the border of the Kruger National Park – two young girls have been abducted and the local people fear the children have been taken for use in umuti, sinister traditional medicine practices. Umuti is also being employed by poachers, who pay healers for potions they believe will make them invisible and bulletproof.
When another young girl disappears, this time a tourist, Mia and Sannie must confront their own personal demons and challenge everything they believe, in order to follow a trail that seems to vanish at every turn.

A missing girl. A frantic mother. A desperate search.
Across the country, notes taped to restroom stalls read, “On a date
that isn’t going well? Ask for Andrea at the bar. We’ll make sure you
get home safe.”
But Andrea—the girl behind the campaign—didn't make it home safe.
She disappeared without a trace at seventeen. The police labeled her a
runaway, and the case went cold. That is, until her mother, Sabina,
starts digging for answers.
But the closer she gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes that not
everyone wants Andrea to be found. A predator is hiding in plain sight,
keeping close tabs on the search. And he’ll do whatever it takes to
make sure his secrets stay buried.
Forget You Saw Her is the chilling
standalone prequel to the international bestseller Ask for Andrea.

A Good Morning America Book Club Pick | A New York Times
bestseller! "Utterly addictive." -Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl
on the Train "Hooks you from the very first page and will have you
racing to get to the end."-Good Morning America A tense,
page-turning psychological drama about the making and breaking of a
family-and a woman whose experience of motherhood is nothing at all
what she hoped for-and everything she feared Blythe Connor is
determined that she will be the warm, comforting mother to her new
baby Violet that she herself never had. But in the thick of
motherhood's exhausting early days, Blythe becomes convinced that
something is wrong with her daughter-she doesn't behave like most
children do. Or is it all in Blythe's head? Her husband, Fox, says
she's imagining things. The more Fox dismisses her fears, the more
Blythe begins to question her own sanity, and the more we begin to
question what Blythe is telling us about her life as well. Then
their son Sam is born-and with him, Blythe has the blissful
connection she'd always imagined with her child. Even Violet seems
to love her little brother. But when life as they know it is
changed in an instant, the devastating fall-out forces Blythe to
face the truth. The Push is a tour de force you will read in a
sitting, an utterly immersive novel that will challenge everything
you think you know about motherhood, about what we owe our
children, and what it feels like when women are not believed.
