A little girl is missing... and the only way to save her is to play a killer's twisted game.

One August afternoon, eight-year-old Grace Lennard vanishes into thin air. Rushing to the scene, Detective Kim Stone finds a chilling piece of evidence: the heart bracelet belonging to Melody Jones - a little girl stolen from a playground exactly twenty-five years ago.

Hours before, Steven Harte walked into Halesowen police station and claimed he could lead Kim to Melody. And he told her she'd have a more urgent problem to deal with first. Now Kim must do what he says if she's to find Grace alive.

With only twenty-four hours before she must release him, can Kim uncover the truth among Steven's lies, find Melody and save Grace? Or will more innocent lives be lost?

An edge-of-your-seat thriller that will leave your heart in your mouth. You will be totally hooked on the utterly addictive, number one, multi-million-copy bestselling Detective Kim Stone series.
