Well-versed in the Edwards-Voss team writing, I could not wait to get my hands on this novel.

A great mix of drama and psychological thriller, Edwards and Voss pen an excellent novel, complete with plot twists, that will pain any parent but force them to read on in hopes of redemption. Might there be someone with an inside interest in the Phillipses, seeking to enact revenge for something they’ve done? Lennon and the MIT9 Squad must strike before Frankie becomes a victim of more than kidnapping. Struggling with issues in his personal life related to his daughter and estranged wife, Lennon juggles moving forward with the investigation as the leads prove fruitless. When one of the children’s bodies turns up, Lennon must determine if this is the work of a serial kidnapper and what fate might belie the other children. DI Patrick Lennon heads up the investigation and adds the Frankie Phillips case to the list, seeking similarities that might help the investigation. Fearing the worst, they alert the authorities, who are already handling two other kidnapped toddler cases in the region. After returning from dinner out, Helen and Sean Phillips find their toddler missing from her bed and Sean’s elder daughter passed out on the couch. Another great novel by British duo, Mark Edwards and Louise Voss, who pull on the heartstrings of any parents or those close to young children.
