About A Knock at the Door
‘Full of suspenseful moments and didn’t see them coming twists’ – Adele Parks
‘I couldn’t put it down’ – Shari Lapena
They’ve finally got her back… but is it really her?
When three-year-old Tippi Macklin goes missing on a weekend break with her parents, her face appears in newspapers around the world, sparking endless debate and conspiracy theories. Wealthy and glamorous Jed and Gabby never give up hope that ‘Little Tippi’ will be found.

A DNA test will prove her identity one way or the other, but when the results come back, it seems the mystery has only just begun…
