Bookseller recommendation
“It has been a long time since I read a Maeve Kerrigan novel but this one didn't disappoint and easily read as a stand along. The mystery was quite involved as was the relationships between all of the characters. A great police procedural. And, then the ending!! ”
— Nancy • Fiction Addiction

Every mother's worst nightmare …
When nine-year-old Rosalie Marshall vanished from her bed one summer night, her disappearance tore her family apart.

The Marshalls have been keeping secrets. And someone is prepared to kill to hide the truth. Until Maeve finds out what happened to Rosalie, no one will be safe …
