The Night Ferry
Struggling detective Alisha Barba is trying to get her life back on track after almost being crippled by a murder suspect. Now on her feet again she receives a desperate plea from an old school friend, who is eight months pregnant and in trouble. On the night they arrange to meet, her friend is run down and killed by a car and Alisha discovers the first in a series of haunting and tragic deceptions.
Determined to uncover the truth, she embarks upon a dangerous journey that will take her from London's gritty East End to Amsterdam’s murky red light district and into a violent underworld of sex trafficking, slavery and exploitation.

PRAISE FOR 'The Night Ferry'
Val McDermid
'THE NIGHT FERRY is all about the human heart -- heart-stopping, heart-breaking and heart-wrenching.'
Peter James
'It is more than Michael Robotham's characters that leap off the page; he writes in a voice with a haunting sense of soul that stays with you long after you have finished. He rightly deserves to be classed among the very best of British thriller writers.'
Australian Bookseller & Publisher
'Robotham’s books are relentlessly fast-paced and he has a gift for fleshing out the character of a likeable and multifaceted protagonist in the midst of a narrative that starts at a sprint from the first line and doesn’t flag until the last. If excellent characterisation, deft plotting and a light touch count for anything, Michael Robotham is a name that should be on all of our lips.'
Boek (Netherlands)
'Robotham did a great job giving a trustworthy description of Amsterdam with all it's dark sides. The main character Alisha gives colour and spirit to this great story. THE NIGHT FERRY has all the qualities to become a bestseller.'
Spits (Netherlands)
'Robotham's research has really paid off... He takes his readers seriously and has written a book that is thrilling to the last page.'
