The acclaimed debut thriller from the internationally bestselling author of The Liar's Girl and 56 Days

The day Adam Dunne's girlfriend, Sarah, fails to return from a Barcelona business trip, his perfect life begins to fall apart. Days later, the arrival of her passport and a note that reads "I'm sorry—S" sets off real alarm bells. He vows to do whatever it takes to find her.

Adam is puzzled when he connects Sarah to a cruise ship called the Celebrate—and to a woman, Estelle, who disappeared from the same ship in eerily similar circumstances almost exactly a year before.

To get answers, Adam must confront some difficult truths about his relationship with Sarah. He must do things of which he never thought himself capable. And he must try to outwit a predator who seems to have found the perfect hunting ground.

      In Howard’s solid first novel, Sarah O’Connell leaves Cork, Ireland, aboard the cruise ship Celebrate for a business meeting in Barcelona. When Sarah fails to return from her Mediterranean trip, boyfriend Adam Dunne, an aspiring screenwriter, begins to worry. No one, including her parents, is able to contact her. The ship’s owner offers Adam little help. Then Adam receives a package with Sarah’s passport and a note saying only “I’m sorry—S.” The Irish police manage to connect Sarah with a Celebrate crew member, Ethan Eckhart. Adam later makes contact with Peter Brazier, whose wife disappeared from the same ship a year earlier and who got a package exactly like Adam’s. Adam and Peter book passage on the Celebrate to seek Ethan and demand answers. Two additional story lines—that of a troubled French boy and of a ship housekeeper—eventually connect with Adam’s in surprising ways, as life and death aboard a cruise ship prove very mysterious indeed. Agent: Jane Gregory, Gregory & Company (U.K.).
