Girl in the Machine

An abduction that shocked a nation. A detective who never gave up. A vanished girl who came back... In 2068, pensioner Harry Abbott is trapped in a care home in a world gone to hell. When his wife dies, Harry is given a holographic companion to stop him getting lonely. But something strange happens when the hologram glitches — Harry meets Rhea Clarke, a young girl who vanished four decades previously, believed to be the last victim of a notorious serial killer. The case destroyed Harry's career. Has Rhea returned, or is Harry losing his mind? To get answers, he'll have to step back into a world far more dangerous than the one he remembers. And the terrible truth about Rhea's fate will change everything. A gripping speculative thriller packed with action and twists, Girl in the Machine is perfect for anyone who loved the futuristic thrillers from John Marrs, Blake Crouch or Stuart Turton.
