A missing schoolgirl, a middle-aged recluse, an exploited teenager.
Lives thrown into chaos and set on collision course. With the
police in hot pursuit. Scarlett is dancing in the school talent
show tomorrow. Nana, who Scarlett lives with since Mum died,
reckons Scarlett will be on Strictly at this rate. Except Scarlett
doesn't make it home from school. She's abducted by a man she never
imagined she'd see again. A man on the police's most wanted list.
Her dad. Ron has made a living as a house and pet sitter since
quitting his career on the front line in the fire service. He's
currently looking after a place deep in the Derbyshire Peaks. The
solitude suits him. And managing animals is so much simpler than
coping with other people. Dylan's a 'cuckoo', dealing drugs on the
county line, moving from nest to nest, picking out people who
daren't say no. Keeping his head down, one step ahead of the law.
So far. But now everything's falling apart. DS Laura O'Neil is
running on empty after nights dealing with her teething toddler.
But Laura is driving the hunt for Scarlett and knows that every
minute counts. Any delay, any mistake might cost Scarlett her life.
A devastating prospect. PC Ahmed Ali discovers a seriously injured
man in a drug den and chases his suspected attacker across the
hills. Ahmed is determined to bring him to justice. But fate has
other plans in store. A race against time, played out in the
brooding wilderness, the limestone gorges and gritstone edges of
the Peak District. Themes of escape and entrapment, of shifting
loyalties and new alliances, of violence, fear and love,
resilience, kindness and hope.
