The Game You Played: A Chilling Psychological Thriller

The Chilling Chart-topping Psychological Thriller
Her toddler son is sailing his toy boat in a water park – when he vanishes. Months later, taunting notes written as nursery rhymes begin arriving. Who would play such a cruel, chilling game?

Little Boy Blue, where did you go? Who led you away? Only I know . . . .

Two-year-old Tommy Basko goes missing from a popular inner-city playground. Six months later, his parents begin receiving cryptic messages in rhyme about Tommy. The police don’t believe the messages are from the abductor, but Tommy’s mother Phoebe is certain that they are. And she becomes sure that the abductor must be someone that she and husband, Luke, know.

Against the advice of the police, Phoebe decides to play the game.

She begins a frantic search for the writer of the rhymes, at the cost of causing her marriage to shatter.

When the shocking identity of the message-writer is discovered, Phoebe’s desperate race for the truth has only just begun.

Who took Tommy? And why?
