Again Nicci French takes situations which have been 'done' before and gives them a new and quite horrifying twist. Abbie Devereaux has been abducted and it is obvious that her captor is going to kill her. She has also lost her memory. To keep sane, to escape, to try to regain her memory and her old life is what keeps Abbie, a girl of strength and spirit, going.
