One narrator is Patrick, and the other is Helen. The novel is told from two points of view. The common element in these two abductions is that the children came from a posh area in London, Richmond, and their parents were well off. In the case Patrick is dealing with, two children have been kidnapped: two-year-old Liam, who was taken from his mother’s car while she popped to Sainsbury’s for two minutes, and three-year-old Izzy, who was kidnapped from her living room while her father was making a phone call upstairs. We don’t know what has happened to Patrick’s child Bonnie,whether she survived or she suffered some kind of brain damage for being without oxygen for some minutes, and we don’t know what happened to his wife. Patrick is with his partner Carmella investigating a series of baby abductions.
The novel moves forward and it is eighteen months later. As the ambulance crew is busy with his baby, he goes to find his wife and arrests her. Patrick manages to revive her, and then he calls an ambulance. Yet, when he gets to the house, he finds Gill in an almost catatonic state, and as she rushed up the stairs, he finds his baby almost dead, marks around her little neck. The prologue of this new book starts quite strongly.ĭetective Patrick Lennon returns from a hard day at the office looking forward to spending time with his wife Gill and their five-month-old baby Bonnie.
