What happens when someone's too scared to speak?
Ex-police officer Sebastian Clifford had decided to limit his work as a private investigator, until Detective Constable Bird, aka Birdie, asks for his help.
Twelve months ago a young girl was abandoned on the streets of Market Harborough in shocking circumstances. Since then the child has barely spoken and with the police unable to trace her identity, they've given up.
The social services team in charge of the case worry that the child has an intellectual disability but Birdie and her aunt, whoβs fostering the little girl, disagree and believe sheβs gifted and intelligent, but something bad happened and sheβs living in constant fear.
Clifford trusts Birdieβs instinct and together they work to find out who the girl is, so she can be freed from the past. But as secrets are uncovered, the pair realise it's not just the child whoβs in danger.
