Once the haunt of Jack the Ripper, London's East End is a
vibrant mix of history and the avant-garde, where elegant
Georgian town houses exist side by side with colorful street
markets and the hippest clubs. But here races and cultures
still clash, and the trendy galleries and glamorous
nightlife disguise a violent and seedy underside.
Sandra Gilles, a young mother, leaves her daughter with a
friend and then disappears on a beautiful Sunday afternoon
in May. Shortly thereafter, her husband, a Pakistani lawyer,
is killed. Scotland Yard detective Gemma James happens upon
the scene—and soon she and Duncan Kincaid, her life partner
and colleague, are on the trail of a murderer. But the
investigation grows darker and more dangerous at every
turned corner, and the true prize must be protected at all
costs: a beautiful, orphaned little girl, not yet three,
whose life now hangs in the balance.
