The Night Ferry

by Michael Robotham (Author)

Synopsis

Alisha Barba's dreams of being a detective were shattered when a murder suspect broke her back across a brick wall. Now on her feet again, with her police career in limbo, she receives a message from an old school friend, Cate Beaumont, who is eight months pregnant and in trouble. On the night they arrange to meet, Cate is mown down by a car that kills her husband instantly. As paramedics fight to save her life they discover there is no baby. Her pregnancy is an elaborate lie, a cruel deception. Why? What happened? As Alisha sets out to answer these questions she is drawn deeper and deeper into a dangerous quest that will take her from the East End of London to Amsterdam's red light district and into a murky underworld of sex trafficking, slavery and exploitation. A gripping thriller, with twists at every turn, The Night Ferry is Michael Robotham's finest novel yet.

Media Reviews
With its tight pace and such contemporary social themes as prostitution, infertility and trafficking, as well as an adrenaline-oacked narrative, Ribotham has crafted an enduring and unusual thriller. Sunday Express Alisha is a complex, absorbing character. The pace is fast, the plot is high octane, labyrinthine and utterly credible. It's also a detailed and superbly researched piece of work. Irish Examiner Big build-up, big ending, big book. You'll love it. Daily Sport This gripping thriller is complex, entertaining and at times deeply moving - a fantastic read. RTE Guide
