A dead woman. A missing baby. A desperate race against time.
It’s a cold October dawn when Detective Lola gets the call. The body of a young woman has been found in the reeds at Darnley Glen park on the outskirts of Glasgow. There’s a vicious wound to her head.
She’s not been dead long. A shaken taxi driver insists he saw the victim just hours earlier, running through the darkness, clutching a newborn.
But there’s no sign of the baby.
Then, a 999 call. A local businessman reports his ten-week-old son was kidnapped at gunpoint by a woman matching the victim’s description.
But why did he wait so long to call the police? Lola’s instincts tell her he’s hiding something behind the walls of his plush suburban home.
Time is running out to find the missing child — but the truth is darker, and more twisted, than Lola could ever imagine.
Daniel Sellers is the author of the Kindle-bestselling Lola Harris Mysteries and is an obsessive fan of Agatha Christie. His crime thrillers are pacy and dark, with as much interest in whydunnit as who. He grew up in Yorkshire, and has lived and worked in Liverpool, Glasgow, Ireland
and Finland. Sellers now lives in Argyll in Scotland.
My thoughts: Another cracking case for Lola and her team. A dead woman, a missing baby, and something deeply wrong going on. Why is the missing baby’s father being so difficult? Why does his story ring so hollow?
As Lola starts investigating, it seems something very wrong is going on a local university, with potential connections to her case.
This might be one of darkest, nastiest cases Lola has dealt with, and it has links to a senior officer in the force too, with implications for her job. But she’s determined to figure out what’s going on and why.
Another excellent, intelligent and gripping installment in this series.
