Can US Marine Ty Johnson keep a young reporter alive long enough to uncover the truth behind the mysterious disappearance of a young black woman deep in the Florida Everglades?

Marine veteran Ty is hired to protect reporter Cressida as she investigates a decades-old missing persons case in the Everglades. But what seems like a straightforward gig turns into a nightmare as a seemingly idyllic Florida town reveals its sinister secrets…

The latest nail-biting, edge of your seat thriller from the British winner of the International Thriller Writers Award in New York. Previous winners include, Jeffery Deaver, Stephen King and Gregg Hurwitz.

Like the Everglades themselves, the small town of Darling appears calm. The people are welcoming to the two strangers, no one locks their doors, and crime seems non-existent.

But just beneath the hospitable surface lie a series of terrifying secrets.

Soon veteran bodyguard Ty finds this job is anything but. Plunged into a nightmare world, will he be able to keep his client alive? Or will they both be sucked into a swamp of lies, betrayal and violence?
