It seemed like an unsolvable mystery at the time: a wealthy heiress and son kidnapped in Fife,then a botched payoff,leaving her dead with no trace of the child. So when,over twenty-five years later,a possible clue is discovered by a journalist in Tuscany, cold-case expert DI Karen Pirie doesn't hold much hope of unravelling the infamous enigma. She's already investigating a case from the same year.At the height of the miner's strike, Mick Prentice broke ranks to join 'scab' strike-breakers down south.But new evidence suggests Mick's disappearance may not be as straightforward as that - and Karen finds herself drawn into a dark domain of secrets, betrayal and murder. . . Past and present intertwine in a novel of taut psychological suspense that explores the intersection of desire and greed.
