Hurting Distance by Sophie Hannah

Naomi Jenkins is the 'other woman', she has been seeing Robert Haworth every Thursday afternoon for the last year.  When Robert fails to turn up to their meeting one week, and Naomi can't contact him, she is convinced that something terrible has happened.  

After a few days of trying to make contact she reports him to the police as a missing person.    The police aren't really convinced.  They visit Robert's home and his wife says he is away for a few days staying with friends.  

In a desperate bid to make the police look for Robert, Naomi visits them again and reports that he has raped her.  She wants them to think that he is dangerous so that they will search for him.  She tells them the date the rape occurred and lots of very specific details about what happened.  She is providing details of what really happened to her a few years before she met Robert.  

When the police do start to investigate they find evidence that other women have experience the exact same thing and have told very similar stories to Naomi.  They now need to find what links all these cases and if Robert Haworth is actually involved.
