Sinopse

A ransom demand leads to secrets revealed, in this twisting crime suspense from the author of The Victim. Eleven-year-old Danny Stone is snatched on his way home from school, bundled into the back of a van, and driven to a remote, deserted farmhouse. Danny’s parents, Martha and Richard, are frantic when their only child goes missing and call the police. Their home in Bristol is searched, and their lives and Richard’s career as a solicitor come under scrutiny. Finally, a ransom demand arrives. Martha wants to pay, but Richard procrastinates. When he leaves the house, Martha searches through his papers. It’s clear her husband has been keeping something from her. But as she tries to untangle his lies, while the police continue their search, Richard risks a dangerous negotiation on his own. And the question remains—how long can Danny survive?

But a bizarre, prophetic encounter with a young girl selling candles in the cathedral changes everything. Guided by an unshakeable intuition, Coquenil plunges headfirst into the most perplexing puzzle of his career: a man shot dead in a private room at the ultra-luxurious Ansonia restaurant. The victim? A beloved local hero. The prime suspect? An American expatriate whose only alibi is a secret he absolutely refuses to tell.
