Sam Morpeth is left to fend for her younger sister when their mother goes to prison. But when a stranger begins to blackmail her online, she's drawn her into a trap she may not escape alive. Reporter, Jack Parlabane, is indebted to a volatile source and now that debt is being called in, it could cost him everything. Thrown together by a common enemy, Sam and Jack are about to discover they have more in common than they realise - and might be each other's only hope.

Review:

Pure literary dynamite * Lorenzo Carcaterra, author of Sleepers and The Wolf * The most compelling thriller I've read all year * John Gilstrap * A sharp and funny writer * Carl Hiaasen * Brookmyre is a master at creating tension * Mystery Scene * [A] fast-paced, action-packed, twisty thriller . . . expect tension, suspense, impeccable plotting and scary possibilities. * Choice * This book's a rush. * Peterborough Telegraph * Want You Gone is vintage Brookmyre - equal parts adrenaline and empathy, a plot that opens out like a Japanese flower dropped in hot water, and characters so real you want to reach through the page and save them. * Diana Gabaldon *
