And she knows her captor was never apprehended. Lyra's kidnappers have made it clear the police must not get involved. But Stacey can't shake the eerie similarities between the two cases, and she'll use whatever she can, from her journalistic powers to her shady contacts, to save Lyra from the same nightmare. Desperate to find any link between Lyra's abduction and her own, Stacey forces herself to revisit her forgotten, traumatic past for clues. But can she make sense of the terrible secrets she unearths in time to save Lyra? And if she does, is she ready to face her own tormentor?"--Provided by publisher.
