Once you heard "Upper" north's voice, you never forgot it. And Pauline Lewins knew she never wanted to hear it again. But he was here, at Silvermeadow, at what had been her safe haven.
Detective Chief Inspector David Brock and Detective Sergeant Kathy Kolla of Scotland Yard are called in to investigate the reappearance of one of the most violent criminals Brock had ever come across. And fourteen-year-old Kerri Vlasich is missing. She's been gone for two days now and her mother's only just called the police. Kerri's been at Silvermeadow too - she's got a job here. But there are stories about Silvermeadow, stories about other missing girls that make Alison Vlasich's blood run cold.
Investigating one case without being seen to be interested in the other, Brock and Kolla come up against dead-ends everywhere. Until Kathy Kolla decides to follow up some leads on her own, leaving herself wide open to danger. And going solo can be very dangerous . . .
