Barbara is at a loss: The daughter of her friend Taymullah Azhar has been taken by her mother, and Barbara can�t really help�Azhar had never married Angelina, and his name isn�t on Hadiyyah�s, their daughter�s, birth certificate. He has no legal claim. Azhar and Barbara hire a private detective, but the trail goes cold.

Azhar is just beginning to accept his soul-crushing loss when Angelina reappears with shocking news: Hadiyyah is missing, kidnapped from an Italian marketplace. The Italian police are investigating, and the Yard won�t get involved, until Barbara takes matters into her own hands � at the risk of her own career.�

As both Barbara and her partner, Inspector Thomas Lynley, soon discover, the case is far more complex than a typical kidnapping, revealing secrets that could have far-reaching effects outside of the investigation.� With both her job and the life of a little girl on the line, Barbara must decide what matters most, and how far she�s willing to go to protect it.
