Product Information

They have taken your fourteen year old daughter, and her kidnappers are demanding half a million pounds in cash. They give you only forty-eight hours to raise the money, and warn that she dies if you call the police.

The First 48 Hours: the twisting new thriller from the Sunday

An emotionally punchy domestic noir blended with the pace and action of a high-octane thriller, WE CAN SEE YOU will keep you breathlessly on the edge of your seat, wondering which character you can trust, if any at all, until the final brilliant twist! (Sarah Pinborough) After writing the book, Simon sent it to an agent who initially was interested in it, but the agent straight out rejected the story. So with some nudges from his wife, he kept sending that manuscript to other agents across the country after rewriting a few chapters and polishing the book a bit more. Eventually, a new agent liked what she saw, and they sold it to Transworld, who not only bought this book but also a sequel yet to be written at the time. He was, at the time, around the age of 35, which means never give up if your life-long dream is writing. Eventually, you will get there. However when Rob reports this kidnapping to the police, nobody believes him. Her dad is claiming that she is on vacation abroad, and her apartment looks to be untouched, and the doorman did not hear or see anything.
