- Book Synopsis
- Anne Carson: 15, beautiful, wayward, abducted. Her family has closed ranks and summoned Frank Calder, ex-soldier and sacked police hostage negotiator. Frank wants them to call in the law, but the family refuses, since police bungling nearly cost the life of another Carson child kidnapped years before. But are the kidnappings connected?
