Jane Shemilt has just signed a deal with Harper Collins US for her debut novel The Daughter. What would you do if your daughter was stolen – snatched off the street as she walked home?…

…When Jenny’s daughter Naomi doesn’t come home after her school play, a nationwide manhunt to catch the kidnapper begins, and secrets previously kept from Jenny are revealed.

The Daughter will be published by Penguin in the UK next year.
