Fortune has never really been much of a father,he gave up on his daughter Sophie years ago.Now she has gone missing,vanished without trace and the police have given up on her too.

Driven by guilt Fortune starts his own investigation into her disappearance.He soon discovers that Sophie was being terrorized by a online troll who somehow knew far too much about her.Is there a link between the unknown predator and Sophie`s disappearance? Fortune is going to discover that monsters who live online don't always stay there.

This gripping story is narrated in the alternating perspectives of Fortune and Sophie.I didn't like Fortune very much at the beginning but he did redeem himself a little by the end.I loved Sophie,I found myself laughing out loud at a number of her comments and felt really sorry for her as the story unfolded,she really didn't deserve anything that was happening to her.I spent the whole book with my fingers crossed hoping that she would be ok at the end.The identity of the troll was an unexpected surprise,although the person was very twisted and evil it was hard not to feel a tiny bit of sympathy for the person once you found out about that person's past.

It's a cautionary tale of how the way that we treat people in the past can cause ripples and waves that can affect other people's lives in the future.As the story unfolded I found myself going through a mixed bag of emotions,laughing out loud,frustration and anger at a certain person`s stupidity,revulsion,I even had tears in my eyes a couple of times.I would recommend this book to anyone who likes reading about ordinary people who find themselves caught up in situations that they have no control over.If you like Simon Kernick`s books then I think you will enjoy this thrilling debut,I certainly did and I look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.
