They have known each other since they were in middle school - who better to trust?
But four days before the baby is due, Mara disappears.
Desperate to find her friend and her child, Lexi is shocked to uncover that Mara may not have been telling her the truth - about anything.
Who is her best friend, really, and can Lexi save her baby before it is too late?
'Delivers a thrilling game of cat and mouse, blurring the lines between friendship and family and creating the kind of high-stakes tension that keeps the pages continually turning. You will genuinely feel for these characters, even when you're unsure of which ones you can trust.' Stacy Willingham
'Riveting, intense, and unputdownable your next binge-read. It's almost a shame how fast the pages flyThis is a triumph of character-driven, thrill-packed storytelling.' Ashley Winstead
'Gripping, emotional, and utterly propulsive, Pinky Swear is the kind of thriller that gets its hooks in from the first page and doesn't let go. Danielle Girard masterfully blends past secrets with present stakes in a story that's as much about friendship and motherhood as it is about survival. I tore through it with my heart in my throat.' Sally Hepworth
