Detective Elea Baker

Brought to you by Penguin.

Ten years ago, in the depths of the Finnish winter, Detective Elea Baker's daughter was taken—and never found.

Now, in the quiet streets of Lincoln, girls are disappearing again. When one is found on the cathedral steps, clutching a chilling clue linked to the decade-old abduction, there's only one person who can solve the case: Elea.

Dragged back into her nightmare, she's determined to bring her daughter home this time—no matter the cost.

But is she chasing a ghost, or on the verge of uncovering a truth that will shatter everything?
