Distress Signals

by Catherine Ryan Howard · 2017

When Adam Dunne’s girlfriend Sarah vanishes after a business trip to Barcelona, his seemingly perfect life unravels. A cryptic note and her passport arrive days later, hinting at a desperate apology and a deeper mystery. Adam discovers a chilling link: Sarah was last seen aboard the luxury cruise ship Celebrate, the same vessel where a woman named Estelle disappeared under eerily similar circumstances a year before. Driven by love and fear, Adam plunges into a shadowy world of hidden motives and a predator who has turned the ship into a hunting ground. As he untangles the truth about Sarah’s past and his own relationship, he is forced to confront uncomfortable realities and take actions he never imagined possible. In this pulse‑pounding debut, Catherine Ryan Howard weaves a relentless thriller of deception, danger, and the lengths one will go to rescue the one they love.
