Sharply intelligent and beautiful, investigative journalist turned profiler Dr Clare Hart has a reputation: she can see into the darkest places of the violent criminal mind. Riedwaan Faizal is a member of the South African Police's elite Gang Unit. Tough and streetwise, he is used to being a target. But when the danger of his one-man anti-gang war envelopes his only daughter, and he becomes the prime suspect in her abduction, there is little he can do. Distraught, Faizal turns to a sceptical Clare Hart for help. Their desperate search for the missing child, whose chances of survival diminish with each hour, unravels a tangled web of deception and danger that puts all their lives at terrible risk.
