Synopsis

It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing: a girl on a yacht with her super-rich banker father; a chance for the family to heal after a turbulent time; the peaceful sea, the warm sun ...But a nightmare is about to explode as a group of Somali pirates seizes the boat and its human cargo - and the family becomes a commodity in a highly sophisticated transaction. Hostage One is Dad - the most valuable. Amy is Hostage Three. As she builds a strange bond with one of her captors, it becomes brutally clear that the price of a life and its value are very different things ...

Media Reviews
Praise for In Darkness: In Darkness is a serious, nuanced, challenging novel. Trust me, there are plenty of young readers who hunger for exactly that * Guardian *
A clever and gripping story about a teenage girl's journey of self-discovery * The Times *
Lake handles these difficult themes with great skill, making political points while never losing the balance between emotion and action. He captures Amy's sense of abandonment with moving sensitivity and maintains the plot tension throughout * Daily Mail *
