In a London neighbourhood known or its artists and bohemian style, six-year-old Tracey Rudd is abducted from home without any warning, or sign of violence. She is the third girl abducted under similar circumstances in recent weeks. But this case is different. She is the daughter of notorious contemporary artist Gabriel Rudd, best known for the grotesque "Dead Puppies," a work centred around his wife's suicide five years earlier. While Gabriel exploits Tracey's abduction as an inspiration for a major new work in his upcoming exhibit, Detective Chief Inspector David Brock and Detective Sergeant Kathy Kolla hunt for the missing girls' kidnapper, who is suspiciously connected to the eccentric community artists, dealers, and collectors in the neighbourhood.
"Gripping...Maitland brings the particular world he depicts unforgettably alive. No one who reads this haunting, unnerving work will ever again think about contemporary artists the same way." -- "Publishers Weekly" on "No Trace" "In what may be his best book yet, Maitland starkly contrasts the modern art worldview of life as art/art as life with the police attitude that life is not a game. Fans of British police procedurals by such authors as Jill McGown, Stuart MacBride, and Quentin Jardine will demand this." -- "Library Journal" (starred review) on "No Trace"
