Her daughter, with emerald eyes and the sweetest smile, is everything to her. Her whole world. “Mommy,” the little girl says, touching her mother’s face with trembling fingers before she’s torn away. “Don’t cry.” Will she ever see her again?
When single mother Alison Nolan sets off with her six-year-old daughter, Hazel, she can’t wait to spend precious time with her girl. A vacation in Silent Lake, where snow-topped mountains are surrounded by the colors of fall, is just what they need. But hours later, Alison and Hazel vanish into thin air.
Detective Kay Sharp rushes to the scene. The only evidence that they were ever there is an abandoned rental car with a suitcase in the back, gummy bears in the open glove compartment and a teddy bear on the floor.
Kay’s mind spins. A week before, the body of another woman from out of town was found wrapped in a blanket, her hair braided and tied with feathers. Instinct tells her that the cases are connected––and it won’t be long until more innocent lives are lost.
As Kay leads a frenzied search, time is against her, but she vows that Alison and little Hazel will be found alive. She works around the clock, even though the small town is up in arms, saying she’s asking too many questions. Then she uncovers a vital clue – a photograph of the blanket that the first victim was buried in.
Just when Kay thinks she’s found the missing piece, she realises she’s being watched. Is she getting too close, or is her own past catching up with her?
With a little girl’s life on the line, Kay will stop at nothing. But will it be enough to get inside the mind of the most twisted killer she has ever encountered, or will another blameless child be taken?

This #1 bestseller by David Mitchell (4.3 stars on Amazon) is now reissued with a new afterword and intro by Gabrielle Zevin. Shortlisted for the International Booker, it's a dazzling epic you’ll be thinking about for years. Click to explore the timeline.
Choose your retailer
About the book
What if your actions today echoed across centuries? Cloud Atlas is a genre-defying masterpiece that explores exactly that—with wit, grit, and one very suspicious brain parasite.
We begin in 1850 with Adam Ewing, an American notary just trying to get home. But when a doctor’s “help” turns sinister, Ewing’s tale spirals into six wildly different narratives: from a Belgian composer’s scandalous letters to a journalist investigating nuclear corruption, a vanity publisher escaping gangsters, a clone in a dystopian future Korea, and a goatherd navigating a postapocalyptic Hawaii.
Each story links to the next in unexpected ways, proving that no act is ever isolated.
If you love time loops, soul reincarnations, and stories that challenge your brain (in a good way), Cloud Atlas will blow your metaphysical socks off.
