About this ebook
An old case makes new enemies for DCI Louisa Smith in this crime thriller by the New York Times–bestselling author of Under a Silent Moon.
Ten years ago, fifteen-year-old Scarlett Rainsford vanished while on a family holiday. Lou Smith worked the case as a police constable, and failing to find Scarlett has haunted her ever since. Now she’s shocked to learn that Scarlett was found during a brothel raid in Briarstone.
Lou and her Major Crime team are already working two troubling cases: nineteen-year-old Ian Palmer was found badly beaten; and soon after, bar owner Carl McVey was found half-buried in the woods, his Rolex and money gone.
While Lou tries to establish the links between the cases, DS Sam Hollands tries to question Scarlett. What happened to her? How did she end up back here? And why is her family—with the exception of her emotionally fragile younger sister, Juliette—less than enthusiastic about her return? As the violence escalates, Lou’s cases collide, and it becomes clear that the silent, secretive Scarlett holds the key to everything.

4.5 poignant description of sexual worker slavery throughout Europe. -- The author's name on the cover can be confused as Raynes instead of Haynes.
