The Missing Episode

Anna Vale knows what makes a story catch fire.

A missing woman. A wrongful conviction. A grieving sister who says the truth was buried twenty years ago.

For Anna, it should be the perfect comeback season for her true-crime podcast. Especially now, when her career is stalling and she is still haunted by the case that made her name and the damage it left behind.

Then Leah Bennett steps into her studio and everything starts to go wrong.

Because Leah does not just want Anna to tell the story. She wants inside her life.

As the investigation gathers pace, strange details begin to surface. Old evidence does not fit. New leaks spread fast. Anna's listeners turn ruthless. And the deeper she digs into Leah's missing sister, the more it looks as though the truth may be hiding much closer to home, inside her marriage, inside her family, inside the life she thought was safe.

Now Anna must decide who Leah really is: a woman desperate for justice, or someone who has spent years waiting to destroy her.

And by the time she knows the answer, it may already be too late.
