Description

A Read with Jenna Book Club Pick as featured on TODAY.

From the author of Reese’s Book Club Pick and New York Times bestseller Wrong Place Wrong Time, Caller Unknown is a pulse-pounding thriller about a mother racing against time to save her teenage daughter.

There is nothing Simone will not do for her daughter, Lucy. The two have always been close, and with Lucy about to leave home for university, they travel from the UK to Texas for a vacation together. But when Simone wakes on their first morning in the desert, Lucy is gone. In her place is a cell phone, and the voice on the other end gives a chilling ransom demand: do not tell the police, come to this location, and be prepared to make a deal.

Though Simone’s husband urges her to contact the authorities, she knows she cannot risk it. If the kidnappers might kill Lucy, no mother would take that chance. Instead, Simone drives to the isolated meet-up, where she discovers that the kidnapper does not want money. They want her to do something unthinkable.

A catastrophic chain of events follows, with consequences that reach far beyond Simone and her family. Set across the small towns and punishing deserts of remote Texas, Caller Unknown pushes Simone’s courage and morality to the brink as she discovers what it truly means to be a mother.
