Book description
Monday, the lowest point of the week. A day of dark impulses. A day
to snatch a child from the streets ...
The abduction of five-year-old Matthew Farraday provokes national
outcry and a desperate police hunt. And when his face is splashed over
the newspapers, psychotherapist Frieda Klein is left troubled: one of
her patients has been relating dreams in which he has a hunger for a
child. A child he can describe in perfect detail, a child the spitting
image of Matthew.
Detective Chief Inspector Karlsson doesn't take Frieda's concerns
seriously until a link emerges with an unsolved abduction twenty years
ago and he summons Frieda to interview the victim's sister, hoping she
can stir hidden memories. Before long, Frieda is at the centre of the
race to track the kidnapper. But her race isn't physical. She must
chase down the darkest paths of a psychopath's mind to find the
answers to Matthew Farraday's whereabouts. And sometimes the mind is
the deadliest place to lose yourself.
