Kidnappings are terrifying a small town.There is no pattern: the missing children and their families appear to have nothing in common and police are baffled. As the number of victims grows, so does the fear that time is running out.

With the police department stretched to its limits, bitter rivals Jill Jarred and Jack Ludlum are drawn into the investigation. For Jill, the case hits close to home, reopening the wounds of a family tragedy she’s never escaped.

Searching for the children is only the beginning. The kidnapper has a deeper purpose than anyone realised and the closer Jill and Jack get to the truth, the more dangerous the hunt becomes.

A gripping, emotionally charged thriller exploring the complexities of human nature, obsession, and the consequences of a past that refuses to stay buried.
