Titles in This Set. After the End. Hostage. Details. Condition: Brand New. Format: Paperback. Publisher: Sphere. Author: Clare Mackintosh. Overview. This brand-new 2-book paperback set brings together two very different sides of Clare Mackintosh's storytelling: the devastating emotional drama of After the End and the high-altitude, locked-room suspense of Hostage. Whether you love a novel that questions what you'd do for family, or a thriller that grips you at 35,000 feet, this collection delivers two of the Sunday Times bestseller's most talked-about novels in one great-value set.. About the Books. After the End follows Max and Pip, the strongest couple you know, as they face the most important decision of their lives. When their young son becomes critically ill, doctors ask them to decide his fate, and for the first time the couple cannot agree on what's right. As the consequences of an impossible choice threaten to unravel everything they've built, Mackintosh explores love, loss, and the roads not taken with extraordinary tenderness — a novel praised for its honesty about grief, hope, and the impossible choices parents sometimes face.. Hostage takes readers into the tense, claustrophobic world of the first non-stop flight from London to Sydney. On board, flight attendant Mina should be focused on her passengers — instead she's distracted by her troubled five-year-old daughter back home and cracks in her marriage. When the flight is hijacked mid-air, Mina is given an impossible ultimatum that tests her loyalty to her family, her passengers, and herself. A propulsive, twisty thriller from a former police officer turned number one bestselling novelist.. Two acclaimed novels by a Sunday Times and New York Times number one bestselling author. Great introduction to Clare Mackintosh, and a treat for existing fans. Blends emotional family drama with a high-stakes psychological thriller. Brand new paperback condition — ideal for gifting or your own collection. Great value bundle pricing versus buying titles individually. Addictive reads perfect for holidays, commutes, and book clubs.
