The answers will take her from a burning building to Amsterdam’s red light district to an England-bound ferry where she’ll be called on to deliver the baby about whom Cate was so frantic. Ali, on medical leave from the Met’s Diplomatic Protection Group, can’t help asking why Cate would pretend to be having a baby and who was responsible for the suspicious accident that killed her husband and left her shattered and comatose. Then, just as suddenly, Cate, married, pregnant and openly fearful that “they want to take my baby,” is run down along with her husband, and it turns out that she’s not pregnant after all. Now Cate suddenly begs Ali to come to their school reunion.
It’s been eight years since Alisha Barba last heard from her old one-time school friend Cate Elliot (and the reason why they’re no longer friends turns out to be a doozy). A gripping thriller, with twists at every turn, The Night Ferry is Michael Robotham's finest novel yet.Quite a change of pace for the colleagues of retired Metropolitan Police Inspector Vincent Ruiz ( Suspect, 2005 Lost, 2006): The detective isn’t the leading suspect, but merely a loose cannon. Read more As Alisha sets out to answer these questions she is drawn deeper and deeper into a dangerous quest that will take her from the East End of London to Amsterdam's red light district and into a murky underworld of sex trafficking, slavery and exploitation. Her pregnancy is an elaborate lie, a cruel deception. As paramedics fight to save her life they discover there is no baby. On the night they arrange to meet, Cate is mown down by a car that kills her husband instantly. Now on her feet again, with her police career in limbo, she receives a message from an old school friend, Cate Beaumont, who is eight months pregnant and in trouble.
Alisha Barba's dreams of being a detective were shattered when a murder suspect broke her back across a brick wall.
