Publishers Description: Past and present intertwine in this rare stand-alone novel of taut psychological drama--a brilliant exploration of loyalty and greed from the bestselling mistress of suspense.Fife, Scotland, 1985. Heiress Catriona Maclennan Grant and her baby son are kidnapped. The ransom payoff goes horribly wrong and Grant is killed. Her son disappears without a trace--until 2008, when a tourist in Tuscany stumbles upon dramatic new evidence that reopens the investigation.Fife, 1984. At the height of the politically charged national miners strike, Mick Prentice abandons his family to join the strikebreakers down south. Labelled a blackleg scab, hes as good as dead as far as his friends and relatives care. Twenty-three years later, a young woman walks into a police station to report Mick Prentice missing. Detective Karen Pirie, head of the Cold Case Review Team, wants to know why its taken so long for anyone to notice.For Pirie, already immersed in the Prentice investigation, a second foray into a 1980s investigation gone cold--this time, the Grant kidnapping--offers an opportunity to make her mark. But its sure to come at an extremely high price. As she works to unravel these mysteries, two decades of secrets will lead Karen Pirie into a dark domain of violence and betrayal--darker than any she has yet encountered.
