‘Margie Orford writes with great human insight, at times with poetic beauty, and always the ever-present deep, dark undertow of menace.’ – Peter James, author of Dead Man’s Time
When an emaciated little girl is found on an icy Cape mountainside, investigative journalist and criminal profiler Dr Clare Hart is baffled that no one has reported her missing. Where does she come from, who does she belong to? In another troubling turn of events, a distraught man approaches Clare to help him locate his granddaughter, a gifted cellist who has abandoned her music scholarship and been seduced by a cultish religious community and its charismatic leader. In a race against time, Clare battles to unravel the two cases which she discovers are connected in ways too horrifying to fathom.
