A brilliantly compelling domestic suspense from a rising star of the crime fiction world, and the man behind BBC/Netflix smash hit, You Don't Know Me

Sophie King is missing.

Her parents, Harry and Zara, are distraught; for the last seventeen years, they've done everything for their beloved only daughter and now she's gone.

The police have no leads, and Harry and Zara are growing increasingly frantic, although they are both dealing with it in very different ways. Increasingly obsessed with their highly suspicious neighbour who won't open the door or answer any questions, they are both coming to the same conclusion. If they want answers, they're going to have to take the matter into their own hands.

But just how far are they both prepared to go for the love of their daughter?

Reviews for Finding Sophie

I loved it, so smart and the plot twists blew me away. Imran is the only author writing about a missing person that deals with grief this well -- Gillian McAllister A clever, chilling thriller that is also unexpectedly moving -- Shari Lapena Finding Sophie is a rare accomplishment. By turns a heart-stopping thriller, a heartfelt mystery, and a powerful study of grief, hope, and the unbreakable bond between parent and child. Brilliant -- Chris Whitaker, author of We Begin at the End This thrilling and emotional roller coaster moved me tears with its powerful portrayal of the agonies of parental love and loss. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Imran Mahmood has excelled himself with this clever, heart-breaking thriller -- Jo Callaghan, author of In the Blink of an Eye What an exciting and compulsive read! Two parents with the same goal afraid to tell each other how far they are prepared to go, but they are not the only ones keeping secrets. Imran has surpassed my expectations with an astonishingly twisty tale of despair, deception and desperation -- Liz Nugent, author of Strange Sally Diamond Finding Sophie is a Domestic Noir objet d'art. Mahmood's writing is exceptionally beautiful for a crime genre novel. The tension he manages to weave within such accessible and recognisable human emotions is genuinely extraordinary, and the pacing hits a real punch because you spend the entire book just wanting it all to turn out all right. Brilliant, bated-breath stuff -- Helen Fields, author of The Institution Finding Sophie by Imran Mahmood is his best yet. Beautifully written, visceral, evocative and compelling - but with a plot that keeps you guessing to the end. So much more than a legal thriller, this is a work of pure brilliance -- Janice Hallett One of the best and most intelligent thrillers I've read in a long while. Written with such skill that you forget you're reading a novel and just get lost in the story. Gripping, moving, brilliant -- Anna Mazzola
