Deborah Jenkins pulls her coat around her as she sets out on her short walk home in the pouring rain. But she never makes it home that night. And she is never seen again.
Four years later, an abandoned baby girl is found wrapped in dirty rags on a doorstep. An anonymous phone call urges the police to run a DNA test on the baby. But nobody is prepared for the results.
The newborn belongs to Deborah. She's still alive.
This book is the first book of the DI Gina Harte series. There are 4 POV's (DI Gina Harte, Deborah, Luke and Deborah's kidnapper). The plot is action-packed and unputdownable as I had to find out what was going to happen. The ending was very satisfying and I'm now looking forward to the next book in the series. I'm kind of curious about Gina Harte and the next book will explain more about her. Looking forward to it!
