The Vanishing Point Val McDermid

From one of the finest crime writers we have, The Vanishing Point kicks off with a nightmare scenario - the abduction of a child in an international airport. Stephanie Harker is in the screening booth at airport security, separated from Jimmy Higgins, the five-year-old boy she"s in the process of adopting, when a man in a TSA uniform leads the boy away. The more Stephanie sounds the alarm, the more the security agents suspect her, and the further away the kidnapper gets. It soon becomes clear nothing in this situation is clear cut. For starters, Jimmy"s birth mother was a celebrity - living in a world where conspiracy and obfuscation are excused for the sake of column inches. And then there are the bad boys in both women"s pasts. As FBI agent Vivian McKuras and Scotland Yard Detective Nick Nikolaides investigate on both sides of the pond, Stephanie learns just how deep a parent"s fear can reach. And the horrifying reality is that she has good reason to be afraid - for reasons she never saw coming. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге The Vanishing Point (Val McDermid)
