Description
Taken is a tense Australian crime novel set in the fictional Northern Rivers town of Esserton, where four-month-old Sienna Ricci disappears in minutes. Detective Sergeant Kate Miles is thrust into the investigation while battling post-trauma anxiety, the demands of motherhood, and a media storm that suddenly turns personal.
As the search widens, suspicion fractures the family: a husband with a shaky alibi, a violent ex-partner with a history of terror, and a grandmother whose certainty turns into pressure and manipulation. With every hour that passes, Kate must decide which threads to pull—because pulling the wrong one doesn’t just cost a career. It costs lives.
