Publisher: Avon BooksFormat: Paperback

An abandoned Southwark warehouse burns next door to a women's shelter for victims of spousal abuse. Within it lies the charred corpse of a female body burned beyond all recognition. At the same time, workers at Guy's Hospital anxiously discuss the disappearance of a hospital administrator — a beautiful, emotionally fragile young woman who's vanished without a trace."And in an old, dark, rambling London house, nine-year-oldHarriet's awful fears won't be silenced — as she worries about herfeuding parents, her schoolwork . . . and the strange woman whois her only companion in this scary, unfamiliar place."Gemma James and Duncan Kincaid — lovers and former partners — have their own pressing concerns. But they must put aside private matters to investigate these disturbing cases. Yet neither Gemma nor Duncan realize how closely the cases are connected — or how important their resolutions will be for an abducted young child who is frightened, alone . . . and in serious peril.
