Description

On the day Lizzie comes back from the dead, the police, her family, and neighbors have already begun searching for her body. She had been missing for three days. Never an articulate child, between her confusion and amnesia she cannot plausibly describe where she'd been or why she'd been away. Soon after, a convicted pedophile is released back into the community, heightening the fears of parents in the Muriel Campden Estate where he lives. Then the child of a wealthy executive disappears, and not long after, a suspect in the kidnapping is found stabbed to death. Chief Inspector Wexford is charged with solving the disappearances, protecting a pedophile, and catching a killer. As he searches for connections, he finds himself focusing on domestic violence. His daughter, Sylvia, a social worker, works nearby in a refuge for battered women called The Hide. Her marriage is strained, although her husband has never raised a hand to her. Others in Kingsmarkham are not so fortunate. As Wexford moves closer to the truth, he confronts the discomfiting lesson that when it comes to the inner life of families, justice is rarely as straightforward as the letter of the law.
