<b>Highly compelling </b>and <b>atmospheric</b>... the storyline and characters involved me completely, from the very first
- Kate Rhodes,
Hilary's depiction of 13-year-old Laura Beswick, Loz, is <b>heartbreaking </b>and<b> convincing</b>. This <b>pacy</b>, easy-reading novel is lifted by its <b>perceptive</b> examination of the distress of girls who don't believe they fit their allotted space in the world and the agony of the parents who try to make them understand how deeply they are loved

'Intelligently and fluently written with a clever plot and an energetic pace, dealing with harrowing topics and shot through with humanity' Cath Staincliffe
The fragile young girl who causes the fatal car crash disappears from the scene. A runaway who doesn't want to be found, she only wants to return to the man who understands her and offers her warmth, comfort, a home. He gives her shelter. Just as he gives shelter to the other lost girls who live in his house.
D.I. Marnie Rome thinks that she knows families, their secrets and their fault lines. But as she begins investigating the girl's disappearance nothing can prepare her for what she's about to face.
