Nowhere Boy by Anne Cleary

A child disappears in broad daylight—and no one sees a thing.

When three-year-old Oliver "Apple Man" vanishes from a remote beach car park, his separated parents are thrust into every family's worst nightmare. As police race against time to search the rugged coastline and surrounding forest, suspicion, guilt, and desperation begin to tear lives apart.

Meanwhile, a grieving woman who has lost everything believes she has been given a miracle: a small boy who needs a mother. But as the search intensifies, her fragile dream starts to unravel.

A gripping psychological thriller about loss, obsession, and the fine line between love and possession.
