This is one of the last in George's series woven around the aristocratic policeman, Inspector Thomas Lynley, and his family and friends. Although purported to be a psychological thriller, it is difficult to put it into any strict category. In this superior and rewarding 'crime' read George addresses the all too current issue of child kidnapping, the various motivating forces which lead to it and the legal and social machinery which deal with it
