No warning. No survivors. No answers.
Ten seconds before the accident, Cate and Aiden Gascoigne’s car is recorded on CCTV. Inside the vehicle, the couple are laughing – happy, untroubled.
And then their car leaves the road and plunges into a ninety-foot ravine.
The impact should kill them. And if the impact doesn’t, the fire will: seconds after it comes to rest, the Land Rover bursts into flames. By the time emergency services arrive, it’s an inferno.
But the fire crews and forensic teams who expect to find the charred remains of a husband and wife find something else instead. Something impossible.
The vehicle is empty.
Cate and Aiden have vanished.
