An abandoned Southwark warehouse burns next door to a
women’s shelter for victims of spousal abuse. Within it
lies the charred corpse of a woman burned beyond all
recognition. At the same time, workers at Guy’s Hospital
anxiously discuss the disappearance of a hospital
administrator – a beautiful, emotionally fragile young
woman who’s vanished without a trace.
And in an old, dark, rambling London house, nine-year-old
Harriet’s awful fears won’t be silenced - as she worries
about her feuding parents, her schoolwork…and the strange
woman who is her only companion in this scary, unfamiliar
place.
Gemma James and Duncan Kincaid – lovers and former
partners – have their own pressing concerns. But they must
put aside private matters to investigate these disturbing
cases. Yet neither Gemma nor Duncan realize how closely
these cases are connected – or how important their
resolutions will be for an abducted young child who is
frightened, alone …and in serious peril.
