A new edition of the sinister masterpiece, now in development at Netflix. "Was that an indrawn breath, or a hiss of static? She heard someone dialling on another line..." Barbara Waugh's daughter Angela was kidnapped aged four, and when a disfigured body turns up that appears to be the end of the matter.
Dealing with grief, Barbara establishes herself as a literary agent. Years after the disappearance she receives a phone call from Angela. Convinced her daughter is alive, Barbara's investigations take her deep into London, New York, and Scotland. Was a brainwashing cult responsible for Angela's abduction? The more Barbara learns, the less she can trust, including those closest to her. Will she succumb to an evil so murderous it might not be of human origin?
