No one's talking, and those who say they know are dying.
A television actress is missing, and DCI Isaac Cook, the Senior Officer of the Murder Investigation Team at Challis Street Police Station in London, is searching for her.
It's not the first time she's gone missing, and why does everyone assume she's been murdered?
There's a secret, but who knows? The missing woman? The executive producer, his eavesdropping assistant? Or the actor who portrayed her fictional brother on the Soap Opera?
Angus MacTavish, the Government's Chief Whip is involved, but who is he? Just a devious politician aiming to protect the government from an electoral defeat or is there more?
People are dying as a result of this woman, yet she remains missing or dead. And who is this mysterious child? What is its importance? Could it bring down the government or the country?
