They only looked away for a moment…
Becky Townsend is in Calais with her best friend Jess, and Jess’ son Noah. But while they are shopping in the hypermarket, three year-old Noah wanders off. A frantic search ensues. He can’t have gone far.
The French police launch their emergency response to abductions, sharing Noah’s image on television, radio and social media. They’ve never failed to locate a missing child within 48 hours. But as the hours become days, the chances of finding Noah alive diminish.
When a former soldier contacts Becky, and tells her Noah is being held by someone seeking revenge against Jess’s dead husband, she learns there is far more at stake than just the safe return of little Noah.
THEN HE WAS GONE is a gripping psychological thriller tapping into every parent’s worst nightmare: what if you can’t protect your children against unseen threats?
