But the plight of a small boy found wandering the streets of Garston in just his night-clothes proves impossible to ignore. So far the child has refused to speak, and the police have no clues as to who he is. Only one fact is clear - something, or someone, has left him terrified . . . And Jenny's concern grows as she grapples with more unanswered questions. Why is the boy so anxious around Fraser? And why, in turn, is Fraser so unsettled by the eight-year-old's presence in his house? And just who is Mr Hunter, whose cryptic phone calls repeatedly strike at the very heart of Jenny's own pain?
