It’s a bright sunny evening in early summer and young Jennifer Stewart is playing happily with her friends on the green outside her house in the Semilong district of Northampton. Squeals and screeches can be heard as they happily chase a football around their homemade pitch, but minutes later there is only numb silence after Jennifer is snatched and driven away in a car.
Detective Chief Inspector Thomas and his Serious Crimes team are stretched to near breaking point when Superintendent Malan demands Thomas releases one of his staff to The Met’s anti terrorist unit. But Thomas would never forgive himself if he didn’t pull out all the stops to save the missing girl; he assigns his best two detectives to the case, Inspector Sheila Grey and Constable Jo Giordano.
It soon becomes clear that the abduction was the work of an organised gang and young Jennifer was not their first victim.
Meanwhile just days after assigning Detective Constable Andrew to The Met, Thomas is called to the scene of a murder in the Grange Park district and is stunned to find the victim is Andrew. He quickly discovers that Andrew had begun an affair with a colleague in The Met and when she too is murdered, Thomas becomes embroiled in a murder investigation that places him and his family in mortal danger.
Can Grey and Giordano save young Jennifer? What is the motive behind the murders of the two police officers? Who is behind them?
In this the fifth Thomas and Grey mystery, the detective duo face a race against time and their most dangerous adversaries yet.
