Description
‘Sharp, assured . . . steeped in authenticity.’ Sean Watkin, author of McDermid Award-shortlisted Black Water Rising
Your baby is perfect. She sleeps through the night, even in this heat. You'll keep her cool. Open the window. Anything she needs. Anything.
But when you wake up in the morning, Bella is gone.
Recently-promoted DI Martha Allen is furious. Her career hinges on this missing baby case, and her boss and the circling media both want a quick solve - but her key witness is lying. Allen needs the truth. She's not going to stop until she gets it. No matter how long it takes.
That detective is watching you.
What have you done? What happened to your baby?
Missing grips from start to finish, with a shocking finale you'll never see coming.' Margot Douaihy, author of Scorched Grace
'DI Martha Allen is a sympathetic protagonist, drawing the threads together and discovering deceptions among the broken lives. Had me hooked immediately.' Georgina Clarke, author of The Corpse Played Dead
