The Empty Bed: A Novel

Catherine excels at helping desperate people disappear. But now she must use her unique skill set to find a missing woman in this electrifying novel from the author of The Burial Society.

Eva Lombard is being followed. Or so she suspects… .

Londoners Eva and her husband Pete are in Hong Kong for a romantic getaway when Pete wakes up in their hotel room to an empty bed, and his wife gone without a trace. His worst fears are confirmed- Eva wasn’t imagining things. Suddenly, Pete finds himself the number one suspect in his wife’s disappearance, trapped in a foreign country with no one to turn to. He calls on the CEO of his investment firm, Forrest Holly Holcomb, who enlists the help of his ex-flame, Catherine, the enigmatic operator behind the darknet witness protection program known as The Burial Society.

As a favor to Holly, Catherine sends her team of highly trained Society members on a dangerous chase through Hong Kong to find Eva–while she takes care of pressing business at home. Not only is Catherine tasked with protecting a family that knows too much from a vengeful pharmaceutical company, a mission that takes her to Mexico City, but an FBI agent tracking down the missing wife and child of a charismatic developer comes dangerously close to exposing the Society’s secrets.

In these intertwining storylines that converge in unexpected ways, not everyone is who they appear to be–and not everyone who is lost wants to be found.
