Stay

Available as Paperback, eBook
The second thriller in the cult classic Aud Torvingen trilogy: a ferocious noir with an iconic feminist hero
‘Stay in the world, Aud … Stay alive inside. Promise me.’
Raw with grief, Aud Torvingen has retreated from her life in Atlanta to rebuild a remote cabin in the middle of Appalachia. Her solitude is broken when an old friend asks for her help tracking down his missing fiancée, Tammy.
Aud feels obliged to help—and first in New York, and then Arkansas, she finds herself up against a sociopath so artful that the law can’t touch him, and her own demons.
“If Jack Reacher had a sister, she’d be Aud Torvingen … he would love her but he’d be a little scared of her, too”
Lee Child

“Without Aud Torvingen it’s difficult to see how there could have been a Lisbeth Salander”
Val Mcdermid
“Visceral, unflinching, superbly executed, ultimately optimistic: Aud as in audacious”
Francis Spufford
“Razor sharp”
