A Bangladeshi camp. A British ambassador. A Harley Street doctor.

Investigative journalist Casey Benedict is used to working on stories that will take her from the bottom to the top of society - stories with a huge human cost. And her latest case is no different. A frantic message is found hidden in clothes manufactured for the British high street.

They take the girls…

Casey and her team at the Post know they are on the brink of a major exposé but identifying the factories in which the clothes have been made is one challenge, following the trail of those taken is another. Their attempts to find the girls will take Casey from her London newsroom across the world and into the very heart of families who will be destroyed if what she uncovers is ever revealed. 

Casey Benedict, globe-trotting star reporter at London paper The Post, is tenacious, fearless, inventive - and still in recovery after her last major story jeopardised her life, and all of those close to her.

Invited to spend the day at the races, she sees a man being hunted across the racecourse. A horrified Casey intervenes to save his life - and in doing so finds herself face to face with her next major investigation.

From London to Budapest, from snowy mountain retreats to glitzy Mediterranean coastal resorts, Casey is on a desperate hunt to find the person behind the shadowy organisations responsible and expose them to the public before anyone else's lives are lost.

When acclaimed undercover journalist Casey Benedict is asked to interview a young woman with cystic fibrosis, the patient's doctor alerts her to the looming threat of antibiotic-resistant infections, tipping her off about a potential new wonder drug. If the rumours are true, this new antibiotic could save millions of lives, but no one wants to admit that the drug even exists.

As Casey investigates, she follows the trail from the Maldives to a game reserve in Zimbabwe, using her undercover skills to probe the truth and find out why the discovery of this new drug is being covered-up.

When tragedy unexpectedly strikes, Casey suspects that someone is trying to silence her, but she is not prepared to let the story drop, no matter how much danger she - or those she loves most - are put in.

One night at university, a group of friends make a series of predictions about each of their futures. Twenty years later, as promised, they meet up to open the predictions and see if anyone guessed correctly about what lay ahead for each of them.

One of the group is now a rising star in politics, another a journalist, a third one of the youngest partners in a major law firm. But another, a brilliant young doctor, isn't there that weekend - lost to suicide just a few months before. If it was suicide...

As their predictions are finally revealed, so too are long buried secrets that will shatter the lives of those involved. Not everyone at the house this weekend is who they appear to be. And not everyone at the house wants the truth to come out. They promised - but who can actually be trusted?
