The silent daughter

Christie, Emma2020
Book
In the age of digital footprints, is it possible to disappear? And how long would it take to notice someone is missing? When his wife May is taken into hospital after a serious fall during a competitive run, Chris Morrison does what anyone would do in a crisis: he phones his family. His son Mikey answers the call, but his daughter Ruth doesn't. She's always been distant, often working abroad for long stretches and communicating via social media. As Chris gets increasingly frustrated by Ruth's lack of response, police investigations into May's fall force him to answer some challenging questions. Why wasn't May on the race route when she fell? Was she running after someone, or running from them? A few uncomfortable certainties emerge: May and Mikey have been keeping things from Chris - and Ruth appears to have been lying to them all. But how many secrets can one family keep?
