Summary

FBI agent Ren Bryce takes on her most heart-wrenching case yet when a father’s work places his young daughter in terrible danger…

OUT OF SIGHT
When a teenage girl is found beaten and raped in the grounds of a derelict asylum, FBI agent Ren Bryce is called in to assist. But she is soon diverted to a missing persons’ case when an eleven-year-old girl and her teenage babysitter vanish without a trace from their hotel room.

OUT OF MIND
Faced with conflicting evidence and inconsistent witnesses, Ren works obsessively to unravel the dark family secrets at the heart of the case, before it’s too late…

OUT OF CONTROL
Determined to uncover the truth, Ren’s behaviour becomes increasingly reckless. Putting her own safety at risk, she enters a world where innocent lives are ruined for profit … and kidnap, rape and murder are all part of the deal.

‘Snappy dialogue … a meaty read’ Irish Independent

‘Blood Loss is cleverly paced, with Barclay drawing out the suspense but giving you just enough information to keep you hooked’ Hot Press

‘Complex and intriguing … the reader is always hungry for more’ Good Book Guide

Praise for Alex Barclay:

‘Tense, no-punches-pulled thriller that will have you on the edge of your deckchair.’ Woman and Home

Voice

I stuck with although I did find the reader's voice quite grsting at tines. I had read the first 2 books years ago and didn't think that Ren's characterisation was right at all.
