Book
When a three-year old girl is reported missing, Andy Gilchrist is assigned the case and soon suspects that the child's mother - Andrea Davis - may be responsible. The case becomes politically sensitive when he learns that Andrea is the daughter of former MSP Dougal Davis. Now a powerful businessman, Davis demands Gilchrist's removal from the case when his investigation seems to be stalling. But then the case turns on its head when Gilchrist learns that a paedophile, recently released from prison, now lives in the same area as the missing child. The paedophile is interrogated but hours later his body is found floating in the harbour with evidence of blunt force trauma to the head, and Gilchrist launches a murder investigation. As pressure relentlessly mounts on Gilchrist, he begins to unravel a dark family secret, a secret he believes will solve the fate of the missing child.
