They said they’d keep me safe. They said, ‘It’s okay, Hannah. You know you can trust me.’ They lied.

When eight-year-old Hannah Perry goes missing in the small Suffolk village of St Just, the community is rocked. Heading up the investigation is Acting DS Rob Minshull, but he’s out of his depth in an investigation full of dead ends. As the kidnapper taunts the police with deliveries of Hannah’s belongings and cryptic notes, her life hangs perilously in danger.

Until Dr Cora Lael enters the picture. A psychologist with a unique ability, Cora’s rare gift allows her to sense emotions attached to discarded objects. When she is shown the first of Hannah’s belongings, she hears the child’s piercing scream.

With few leads on the case, could Cora prove Hannah’s only hope? And as time runs out, can they find Hannah before an unimaginable tragedy occurs…?

A twisty, original and utterly gripping detective thriller. Don’t miss the crime thriller debut from the bestselling women’s fiction author, Miranda Dickinson.
