A mother’s near-obsessive devotion to her missing daughter threatens to destroy more than one family. Megan is the harried but happy stay-at-home mother of three little girls living in a small town. Her life implodes when her youngest daughter, Emma, disappears on her third birthday. Two years later, Megan is preparing to commemorate Emma’s birthday and the anniversary of her kidnapping, compelled to keep her name alive in the minds of her community and her family. Her commitment to Emma, however, borderlines on obsession as she follows the families of little girls who look like the daughter she lost. Her obsession with finding Emma has distanced Megan from both friends and family. Her two older daughters are resentful of her relentless and fruitless search for their sister, and her husband pleads with her to accept that Emma is gone so that the family can move on with their lives. Meanwhile, in the same small town, Jack is beginning to question his wife’s secrecy about their adored granddaughter, Emmie. As Dottie slips into dementia and becomes increasingly protective over Emmie, he can’t help but wonder if there could be a dark secret that Dottie is keeping from him. Jack and Megan’s worlds finally intersect at the town carnival, when Megan snaps a photograph of a little girl on her grandfather’s shoulders.

Each dawn, Ed roused from sleep with a sombre, desolate sensation and instinctively reached for his notepad, capturing the emotions before they slipped away. These bleak feelings seemed to permeate every moment of his waking existence, becoming a persistent presence that lingered within him. Even so, he remained resolute in expressing these visions, capturing them on paper as an act of defiance against the weight of his emotions. Day by day, he continued to battle against the tide of melancholy that threatened to engulf him, turning to his notepad each morning as a source of solace and catharsis. For Ed, writing was a means of processing and confronting the darkness that plagued him, an instrument of self-expression that allowed him to find meaning and purpose in his struggles."I've found it a really enjoyable book to work on; I've worked on a few books about Jack the Ripper in the past and thought that this was a very original take with combining that history with your story about Ed." Mark Swift.
