The Missing Hour
Witnesses, CCTV, even DNA . . . All the evidence is there.
Your husband is a murderer. Or is he?
Everything points to his guilt . . . except the fact that he was with you. Four hundred miles away.
Apart from one single hour.
Imagine a world where the guilty always get punished, where there’s an almost perfect conviction rate: a flawless justice system. You had an unshakeable faith in it.
Right up until they took him away.
The system was built to protect people, or so you thought. You need to find out what happened in that missing hour.

Praise for Robert Rutherford
'Robert Rutherford hasn't just dipped his toes into the thriller genre; he's dived in headfirst. And the result is spectacular - a genuine edge-of-your-seat, thrill-a-minute adrenaline rush. Highly recommended'
'An absolute rip-roaring, globetrotting, adrenaline-fuelled thriller! The jeopardy seeps from the page, and the tension keeps ratcheting up until it's almost unbearable! Surely set to be a bestseller in 2024!'
'A race-against-time thriller that blends slick plotting with the flair of hard-boiled crime. A pacy and punchy read that will keep you thinking for seven days or more!'
'A tense, snappy, charged thriller, with complex family relationships, a great twist halfway, and brilliant locations'
'A cracking read. Great tension, good characterisation and a really interesting twist on a serial killer narrative. A five-star read'
'This was as pacy as it gets, racing through the North East, Paris and New York. Tightly plotted, sharp on character, and huge in scale'
