Publisher's Synopsis
Ten year-old Erin is missing; taken in broad daylight during a birthday party. With no witnesses or leads, DI Lukas Mahler races against time to find her. But will Erin's abductor stop at one stolen child? When human remains are discovered on a construction site near Inverness, Mahler's team are confronted with a cold case from the 1940s. Was Aeneas Grant's murder linked to a nearby POW camp, or is there a darker story to be uncovered? Mahler's hunt for Erin takes him from Inverness to the Lake District, as he uncovers the decades-old family secrets that link both cases.
