The Night We Waited: A Psychological Thriller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798171415013)

A family weekend. A hotel from her husband's past. A child who seems to recognize her son.

Claire Mercer arrives at Bellweather with her husband, Daniel, and their nine-year-old son, Noah, expecting nothing more than a quiet weekend by the sea.

Then a boy they have never met walks straight up to Noah.

"You came back."

Noah has never been to Bellweather.

But Daniel has.

And he has been lying about it for six years.

That night, Claire follows her husband through the darkened hotel and finds him outside Room 18, holding an old brass key someone mailed to him before their trip.

Then she discovers the photograph.

Daniel was at Bellweather six years ago.

So was Claire's sister.

And so was a ten-year-old boy named Jamie.

Jamie never went home.

What begins as the discovery of a devastating betrayal soon becomes something far more disturbing.

Because Jamie wasn't the only child who disappeared that night.

Someone has deliberately brought Daniel back to Bellweather.

Someone wants the truth uncovered.

And as Claire begins pulling apart six years of secrets, she realizes the question is no longer simply what her husband did.

It is what he heard-and why he chose to keep it secret.

One night. Two families. Forty-three missing minutes. And a truth that becomes more unforgivable the closer Claire gets to it.

The Night We Waited is a gripping psychological thriller about marriage, guilt, family secrets, and the moment when fear becomes a choice.
