Someone stole a baby...
One sunny day in July, someone took three-month-old Alicia Owen from her pram outside a supermarket. Her mother, Marie, was inside. No one saw who took Alicia. And no one could find her.
They silenced her cry...
Fifteen years later, a teenager on a construction site sees a tiny hand in the ground. When the police investigate, they find a baby buried and preserved in concrete. Could it be Alicia?
But the truth will always out.
When Alicia disappeared, the papers accused Marie of detachment and neglect. The Owens never got over the grief of their child's disappearance and divorced not long after. By reopening the case, DC Beth Chamberlain must reopen old wounds. But the killer may be closer than anyone ever suspected...

Our Review
This has to be Beth’s most difficult role as family liaison officer in the police force. The subject matter is very emotive as the body of a baby is found encased in concrete. The police have to find out if the body belongs to a baby that went missing fifteen years before and I found the scenes with the mother of the missing baby truly heartbreaking.
As the police dig deeper they uncover lots of twists and turns along the way and the pace just races along with lots of people finding themselves under suspicion.

I love it when we get a glimpse into the detective's private lives and it was interesting to see how Beth’s forbidden relationship with Nick was getting along as he seems like a real hunk and I love the complication of their relationship.
Beth is a flawed Character with lots of problems and that just makes her more unlikely to rely on anybody. This crime becomes a little too close to home for her. Shocking and heartbreaking in equal measures, another tough crime for DC Beth Chamberlain to solve. A real page turner.
