A government minister in the Foreign Office has vanished into thin air.
On holiday in Crete, Lord Bellingham had been solo trekking in the White
Mountains when he mysteriously disappeared. After a vast search and
rescue operation, the local police have no leads, save for a mobile
phone discarded on a cliff edge.
Assistant Commissioner Louise Mangan of the Met Police is sent to assist
in the investigation but soon discovers that there are more layers to
this case than the local police realise.
Lady Bellingham is less than forthcoming, the family nanny is hiding
something, and a scandal is brewing back in London that could destroy
the minister's reputation for good.
Under pressure from the powers that be, can Louise find the missing
minister, or will she discover something much more sinister at play?
