10 15 is coming
The warning appears on street signs, shop fronts and subway stations. Next it comes in anonymous text messages. Then all across the nation, people start disappearing.
Praise for The Numbers
“A remarkably assured debut thriller - pacy, original and truly gripping. It grabbed me by the throat from page one and didn’t let go till the end…”

What does 10 15 mean?
When FBI agent Jarett Boskovich is called to a disappearance in Brooklyn, he thinks it's an isolated incident. No ransom, no motive – just the numbers 10 15 scrawled on a woman's bedroom wall. But it soon becomes clear she's not the only one missing, and thousands across the country appear to be targets. Jarett must race to make sense of the numbers.
Who, or what, is 10 15?
And what exactly is coming?
