It's late. The phone rings. The man on the other end says his daughter is missing. Your daughter. The baby you gave away over fifteen years ago. What do you do? Deciding to search for her daughter brings troubled Nora Watts into contact with a past that she's spent years trying to forget. It's an investigation that takes her on a harrowing journey of deception and violence - one that will eventually lead her to a final showdown with a figure from her own dark past. And all to save a girl she wishes had never been born.
