Finn, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window " The Nowhere Child is the personification of a high-concept thriller, brilliantly executed . White raises the bar on psychological suspense, telling Kim Leamy''s tale in a stylish voice and with a heart-pounding pace . Read page one, and you won''t stop. Guaranteed."--Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author " The Nowhere Child is compelling and intense . The alternating chapters between past and present are perfectly paced and masterfully written to maximize suspense and lead us down a path of love, hate, redemption, and--ultimately--hope.

The best debut novel I''ve read in years ."--Allison Brennan, New York Times bestselling author of the Lucy Kincaid and Max Revere series " The Nowhere Child is pure dynamite . The high concept premise grabbed me from the first page and refused to let me go until I finished.
