Can DS Karen Hart rely on the word of a little girl to save the life
of a woman in grave danger?
When a woman is abducted from a quiet suburban street and bundled into
the back of a white van, the only witness to the crime is a child with a
reputation for telling tall tales.
The police doubt the girl's story, except for Detective Karen Hart, who
is determined to follow her instincts--perhaps because the shy little
girl reminds her of the daughter she's still grieving.
When a playing card is found at the scene, Karen finds her first clue.
And when a second card is found at the home of a missing woman, Tamara,
Karen finds her victim. But before the team can catch their breath,
another woman linked to Tamara is snatched. And then a body turns up in
a farmer's field.
With the crimes having escalated from kidnap to murder, Karen must
unlock the killer's calling-card code before any more victims are taken.
But getting to the truth isn't going to be easy when Tamara's family has
so much to hide...
