And no one is as innocent as they seem.Īs the police grow desperate for a lead, Fawley stumbles across a breakthrough, a link to a case he worked years before about another young woman and child gone missing, never solved. The inhabitants of the quiet street are in shock-how could this happen right under their noses? But Detective Inspector Adam Fawley knows nothing is impossible. So I did what any sensible book worm would do-a fit it in to my schedule even if that meant that I would need to log a few extra long reading session to make it happen! SummaryĪ woman and child are found locked in a basement, barely alive, and unidentifiable: the woman can’t speak, there are no missing persons reports that match their profile, and the confused, elderly man who owns the house claims he has never seen them before. I was instantly curious and eager to find out what this book was all about. However, this book sounded positively horrifying-a woman and child are found in the basement of a house barely alive and can’t speak and no one knows who they are? What in the world-was the first thing that went through my mind. It came early in February and most of my February review schedule was set and I wasn’t sure that I wanted to try and add one more book to the month. This book arrived on my desk for review a little late in the game for me.
