Paperback blurb: In one terrible moment, paramedic Sophie Phillips's life is ripped apart - her police-officer husband, Chris, is shot on their doorstep and her ten-month-old son, Lachlan, is abducted from his bed.
Suspicion surrounds Chris as he is tainted with police corruption, but Sophie believes the attack is much more personal, a consequence of her own actions.
While Chris is in hospital and the police, led by Detective Ella Marconi, mobilize to find their colleague's child, Sophie's desperation compels her to search for Lachlan herself. She enlists her husband's partner, Angus Arendson, in the hunt for her son, but will the history they share and her raw maternal instinct lead to an even greater tragedy?
Frantic was published in Australia in 2007 and won the 2008 Sisters in Crime Davitt award and longlisted for the Ned Kelly award.
