When a headless body is found in the wastelands of the Seahills Estate, Detective Inspector Lorraine Hunt is called in to investigate. Kerry and Lorraine, different ages and from different worlds, come together when Claire Lumsdon, Kerry's sister, is violently kidnapped - the fourth in a series of abductions of young girls. Headstrong, wilful and convinced the police can't help, Kerry sets out on a frantic search of her own.
But her hunt takes her to a world she never knew existed:
a violent underworld
a sixteen year old murder
and, finally, to secrets about her own past which her mother hoped she'd never have to face. And all the time, the clock is ticking for Claire
