Description

Fear the Worst by Linwood Barclay is a chilling thriller that explores the terrifying reality of a missing child and the lengths a father will go to uncover the truth. Tim Blake, an ordinary man living in suburban Connecticut, is thrust into a nightmare when his daughter, Sydney, fails to come home one night from her summer job. What begins as a typical missing person case quickly unravels into a darker, more sinister mystery—no one at the hotel where she supposedly worked has ever seen her, and even her closest friends are clueless about her whereabouts.
