After nearly a year out of the game, former soldier turned private detective John “Slim” Hardy takes what he hopes will be an easy comeback case in the quiet Devonshire town of Launceston.

The disappearance in mysterious circumstances of local schoolgirl Emily Martin left police clueless. Eight days later, her sudden reappearance left them equally baffled. Apparently unharmed, Emily claimed no memory of her period of abduction, and in time, the investigation faded.

Two years later, as her relationship with her daughter falls apart, Emily’s desperate mother Gloria turns to Slim, wanting answers.

Her eight days missing has changed Emily, so much so that Gloria is unsure the girl is even her daughter at all …

From the author of The Man by the Sea and The Clockmaker’s Secret, comes another stunning mystery, one which will keep you guessing to the last page.
