The book begins with Les, the man who abducted Cate, phoning her mother as he has done for the twelve years since he took her child. Cate's mother believes that her daughter was murdered and that Les is a psychopath who won't leave her in peace. But to Cate, Les has been the only father she has ever known and loved.

And how will her English mother square the memories of her three-year-old daughter with the hard-bitten teenager who turns up on her doorstep? : Review: [an] intriguing novel...Tyrrell builds a tense and compelling narrative based upon just three people.
