A teenage girl is found wandering the outskirts of Oxford, dazed and distressed. The story she tells is terrifying. Grabbed off the street, a plastic bag pulled over her face, then driven to an isolated location where she was subjected to what sounds like an assault. Yet she refuses to press charges.
DI Fawley investigates, but there's little he can do without the girl's co-operation. Is she hiding something, and if so, what? And why does Fawley keep getting the feeling he's seen a case like this before?
And then another girl disappears, and Adam no longer has a choice: he has to face up to his past. Because unless he does, this victim may not be coming back . . .

MY REVIEW
This book could not have come to me at a better time. I am right in the middle of my thriller and mystery reading binge at the moment and this is exactly what I wanted and was looking for. This is a police investigation crime mystery that follows DI Adam Fawley as he heads up an investigation into the abduction and assault of a teenage girl. But, as always, there is more to the story than what meets the eye, of course!
What I liked the most is the police work in this. I don't know much about police work having not worked in that sector but I found it very interesting to see DI Fawley and his colleagues follow all sorts of investigation and forensic procedures to try and figure out what has happened.
I have not yet any of the previous books in this series and you don't really need to to pick up this book, but I am intrigued to find out what has happened before this novel. Maybe there are some things that I have missed that I would have picked up if I had. I'm not sure about that but will have to find out!
