When Mara Ellison fails to collect a child from school, the people who rely on her receive reassuring messages from her phone. The problem is that none of them sound like Mara.
Her sister Nina has been named as a hospital contact - but only if Mara is admitted and unable to communicate. Her neighbour holds a spare key she has been explicitly told not to use. Her friends know pieces of Mara's routines, responsibilities and carefully defined permissions, but no one has the authority - or enough information - to see the whole picture.
As appointments are missed and contradictions accumulate, concern becomes a missing-person investigation. Someone is using Mara's rules, records and relationships to keep each person inside the limits she established. To find her, those closest to Mara must determine when respecting a boundary protects a person - and when it protects the person exploiting it.
The Emergency Contact is a tense, sharply observed novel about identity, family obligation, informal care and the dangerous distance between being someone's contact and having the right to decide for them. It is Book Four of The Hawthorn Novels.
