A husband and wife are discovered, imprisoned in their own home. Badly dehydrated, they've been bound and beaten. He is close to death. But worse is to come: their young son is missing.
When Detective Inspector Jack Caffery is called in to investigate, the similarities with events in his own past make it impossible for him to view this new crime dispassionately.

Much better than birdman, much more gripping. I am sorely disappointed at the ending if I'm honest.

One of the best books I've read by the best author ever. Topic is a hard one to read but she tells the story really well and at just the right tone. Not for the faint hearted
