About this audiobook

'Magnificent ... Foster is changing the game.' Nikki Gemmell Everything can change in a heartbeat ... The pulse-pounding new thriller from the bestselling author of You Don't Know Me Emma has delivered hundreds of babies. She knows how to stay calm in a crisis. But nothing could have prepared her for this. Six months ago, in an English hospital, a healthy baby couldn't take a breath at birth. Since then there have been many more tragedies, and now the country is in turmoil. The government has passed new laws granting authorities sweeping powers to monitor all citizens. And young pregnant women are going missing. When Emma's seventeen-year-old daughter Lainey finds herself in trouble, this dangerous new world becomes very real. As the two of them close in on terrifying truths about the missing girls, catastrophe strikes. In the aftermath, Lainey must lead her own fight for truth and safety, while Emma becomes part of a rescue mission beyond anything she could have imagined. Gripping, timely and unforgettable, The Hush is a new breed of near-future thriller - an unflinching look at a society close to tipping point, and an urgent reminder that the most radical thing women can do, in a world determined to silence them, is refuse to let each other fall.
