#1 New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth
George delivers another masterpiece of suspense in her
Inspector Lynley series: a gripping child-in-danger story
that tests Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers like never
before.
Barbara is at a loss: The daughter of
her friend Taymullah Azhar has been taken by her mother, and
Barbara can’t really help—Azhar had never married Angelina,
and his name isn’t on Hadiyyah’s, their daughter’s, birth
certificate. He has no legal claim. Azhar and Barbara hire a
private detective, but the trail goes cold.
Azhar
is just beginning to accept his soul-crushing loss when
Angelina reappears with shocking news: Hadiyyah is missing,
kidnapped from an Italian marketplace. The Italian police
are investigating, and the Yard won’t get involved, until
Barbara takes matters into her own hands — at the risk of
her own career.
As both Barbara and her
partner, Inspector Thomas Lynley, soon discover, the case is
far more complex than a typical kidnapping, revealing
secrets that could have far-reaching effects outside of the
investigation. With both her job and the life of a
little girl on the line, Barbara must decide what matters
most, and how far she’s willing to go to protect it.
