The Taken Girls: Glenn Cooper’s Conspiracy Thriller Returns 30 July
Glenn Cooper’s The Taken Girls publishes in a new edition on 30 July 2026 from Lascaux Media. Ebook, 372 pages.
Two sisters disappear from a villa on the Calabrian coast. Years later they come home, not a day older.
About the book
From Glenn Cooper, the internationally bestselling author of the Cal Donovan thrillers, comes a gripping thriller of kidnapping, conspiracy, and what powerful men will do to hold on to what they have.
Two little girls vanish from a villa on the Calabrian coast — Victoria, five, and Elizabeth, eight, sisters, the granddaughters of an American billionaire. It looks at first like a kidnapping for ransom.
But no demand ever comes. No ransom means no one wanted money — they wanted the girls.
Years pass. Their grandmother’s hair goes white. And then, on an ordinary afternoon, the girls come home. Victoria is still five. Elizabeth is still eight. The same faces, the same small hands — not a day older than the night they disappeared, and dying of something no child should carry.
Everyone wants a story that lets them sleep. The Vatican opens a quiet file on a miracle. The tabloids sell something stranger. But one man keeps pulling the thread everyone wants left alone — until it leads to an old Spanish estate, and to what the powerful will do to hold on to what they have.
Victoria and Elizabeth were not the first children taken. And they are still collecting.
For readers of Dan Brown, Blake Crouch, and Preston & Child.
