Susan Lewis is the bestselling author of 26 novels, including Missing, and her writing style is often compared to that of Jodi Picoult.
Alex Lake's day job is all about helping people, especially children. It's both frustrating and rewarding, though all too often she is left wondering if she's done enough.
When the case of three-year-old Ottilie Crane comes to her attention everything changes. She finds herself completely unable to detach from the child, and feels an overpowering need to make a real difference in little Ottilie's life. To do this she needs the support of her superiors, but no one is prepared to believe that Ottilie is in danger. In the end, Alex decides to take the law into her own hands.
