One early October afternoon, ten-year-old Jacob Rossi begins the short walk home from school. But he never makes it.

Days later, DCI Anna Tate is called to the scene of a burning building, where an awful discovery has been made. A body has been found, and the label in his school blazer reads: J. Rossi.

As Anna starts digging, she soon learns that a lot of people had grudges against the boy's father. But would any of them go so far as to take his son? And is the boy's abductor closer than she thinks?

An absolutely gripping thriller for fans of Cara Hunter's No Way Out and First Blood by Angela Marsons.
