Publisher's Summary

A gripping new standalone thriller from the bestselling author of the Jackman and Evans series.

Detective Sam Helsdown hasn’t seen his daughter Zoe in two years and he’s excited and more than a little nervous to be at the airport picking her up for a visit. She’s 10 years old and has flown on her own for the first time.

Flight BA631 from Athens has already landed and soon a trickle of people begins entering Arrivals. Among them is a little girl who runs towards him, head down, and throws herself into his arms saying ‘Daddy!’.

But then he looks at her properly. This is not Zoe. This is not his daughter.

Shortly afterwards Sam receives a phone call from his ex, Julia. ‘Help will come. Until then, guard her with your life.’

Soon unknown enemies are closing in and Sam must risk everything to keep this girl safe – whilst trying to discover her true identity.

Interesting premise, tame ending

The story had an engaging hook from the beginning that kept me curious throughout. Although I was expecting a good solid ending, it felt like it ended on a whimper and could have been better.

Guard Her with Your Life

One of Joy’s best books!!! This book kept me intrigued from the start, no dull moments. And too short!

Shorter than her usual story

Good story and great narration. The story unfolded too hurriedly but I enjoyed listening to it nevertheless.

Joy Ellis writes another hit

I am a joy Ellis fan & wondered how this “short story” would compare against her full length novels. I wasn’t disappointed, really enjoyable!

Joy Ellis - I love your wonderful ability to write - every book turns me into is “Binge” listener

And this novel I couldn’t put down. I’m completely drawn into all your books and performances live the characters you introduce.

Absolutely enthralling ❤️
