The eighth novel in the bestselling series that inspired BBC's Lynley As the editor of a popular tabloid 'King of Sleaze' Dennis Luxford has made a career out of scandal. But the tables turn when he receives a ransom letter concerning his illegitimate daughter. To save the life of his child Luxford must expose the girl's mother - Eve Bowen now Under Secretary of State for the Home Office. Convinced that Charlotte's disappearance is just one more shabby tabloid ploy Eve refuses to involve the police. Only when events take an unbearable turn is New Scotland Yard brought in in the guise of Inspector Thomas Lynley and his partner Barbara Havers. And as their investigations move from Westminster to Wiltshire Lynley and Havers discover that treachery and betrayal lie perilously close to home.

This story is gripping from start to finish' Daily Mail 'George is a superb purveyor of fear malevolent atmosphere and warped minds . . . So cleverly does she manage the narrative threads so convincingly do her characters behave on the edge of their emotions so startling are the twists to her tale that I could have read more' The Times 'A superb novel with a twist in the tale worthy of Agatha Christie' Daily Express 'A highly astute psychological thriller . . . It has more twists and turns than a mountain road' OK
