Someone with a taste for revenge has her in his sights. Vicky calls him Dark Man. She knows he's hiding in the shadows, watching and waiting to kill her; he tells her in each of his chilling calls. But Dark Man soon raises the stakes in his terrifying game of cat and mouse. Vicky is thrust into a mother's worst nightmare when her eighteen-month-old son, Josh, disappears. There are no clues or witnesses, just a bloodied note left pinned to his teddy bear. As she follows a twisted trail of leads, the list of suspects grows and the bodies pile up. Vicky knows Dark Man is drawing her into a trap, but she's willing to risk everything to save her son. Detective Jim McCann may be the only one who can help Vicky, but should she trust him, or is he the man responsible for Josh's disappearance?
