When a woman is brutally snatched from her home in broad daylight, DS Malkie McCulloch must race against time to find her before it's too late. The victim is a carer, mother and wife living a quiet life in rural Scotland. But someone wanted to hurt her badly enough to risk everything.

As Malkie pieces together the scattered clues she left behind, the case takes a devastating turn.

With his personal life in turmoil – a newly discovered relative, a deepening relationship with fellow trauma survivor Deborah, and the haunting reopening of his mother's suspicious death – Malkie fights to stay focused on finding the victim alive. As winter temperatures plummet, his investigation reveals a story of family betrayal and desperate love that shows just how far a parent will go to protect their child…
