Het twaalfde deel in de populaire Helen Grace-serie van bestseller-auteur M.J. Arlidge. Terwijl een vete tussen drugsbendes de stad in haar greep houdt, smeekt een wanhopige moeder inspecteur Helen Grace om haar tienerdochter te vinden. In eerste instantie lijkt het een eenvoudige zaak: een rebelse tiener die is weggelopen van huis. Zaak gesloten. Of toch niet? Helen volgt haar instinct en richt, ondanks het nadrukkelijke verbod van haar chef, een onderzoeksteam op. Algauw ontdekt ze dat Naomi niet het enige meisje is dat wordt vermist.

Laat op de avond komt een jonge vader thuis. Zijn dochtertje ligt rustig in haar bedje te slapen, maar die aanblik is een schrijnend contrast met de ravage die hij aantreft in zijn slaapkamer, waar zijn vrouw dood in bed ligt. Op brute wijze is ze om het leven gebracht. Een paar dagen later komt een moeder thuis van een late dienst en treft haar tienerzoon aan in de woonkamer. Vermoord.
