A gripping thriller infused with Christian's signature suspense and twists, 'The Long Night' is designed to unsettle, to scare, and to keep readers awake long after the final page.
From bestselling author Christian White comes The Long Night, his most intense and harrowing spine-chiller—a story that refuses to turn away from the unsettling depths of human nature.
The Long Night unfolds entirely within the dead of night. Twenty years ago, a terrible thing happened in Jodie Gibbs’ life. She has been trying to forget that time ever since, pouring her trauma into her work and out of her mind. Until one night her daughter, Em, is kidnapped and Jodie is dragged back into violence. As Em and Jodie race into the darkness of the night, the agony of the past rushes up to meet them. It will take all their devotion and courage to escape this night alive.
