A psychological thriller and a parents worst nightmare.
Sixteen-year-old Emily Reed fails to show up at school,
A phone call quickly spirals into dread as Emily’s phone goes dead, friends know nothing, and the house is stripped of her presence.
Parents, Mike and Rachel search for the daughter they thought they knew.
When the search leads to the Glass House Mountains, Mike throws himself into danger.
Atmospheric, tense, and emotionally raw, this is the story of a family pushed to the edge, and of the terrifying realisation that the greatest threats don’t always come from strangers. But from the people we know.
Based on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, I draw inspiration from the landscapes and communities that shape most of my stories. My writing explores people under pressure within broken systems, where power, control, and survival collide. Spanning psychological thrillers, science fiction, and both historical and contemporary narratives, my work delves into the human psyche—examining what happens when ordinary lives are pushed to their limits and the truth refuses to stay buried.View all by Hannah Caveney
