Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
In this adroit thriller by the author of A Vow of Silence , single mother Joy Prentice fears that her three-year-old daughter, Sally, kidnapped from the London restaurant where Joy works, has been murdered. The police investigation gets nowhere until Joy begins receiving notes from the kidnapper--whom police experts believe to be a deeply disturbed man--implying that Sally is still alive, but not for long. Although there are no official suspects, Joy believes one of two men has abducted the child: either Sally's father or a mysterious stranger who recently tried to befriend the young mother. Then when the kidnapper reveals his demented intentions, Joy must outthink the police and outwit her daughter's captor. With a flair for detail Black tells a tale as riveting as a tabloid headline.

From Library Journal
Joy Prentice, abandoned by her lover when she was pregnant, is determined to do the best job she can as a single parent. Then three-year-old Sally vanishes from her bed in the back of the restaurant where Joy works, leaving the young woman frantic and at a loss as to why such a thing should happen. Aided by police and Rory Baird, a recent acquaintance for whom Joy is developing romantic feelings, she pursues a series of vague clues which eventually lead to the kidnapper's identity and Sally's recovery. This is adequately done but lacks the compelling power necessary for a true thriller. Not a necessary acquisition.
