He has no legal claim. Azhar and Barbara hire a private detective, but the trail goes cold., Azhar is just beginning to accept his soul-crushing loss when Angelina reappears with shocking news: Hadiyyah is missing, kidnapped from an Italian marketplace. The Italian police are investigating, and the Yard wonâ€™t get involved, until Barbara takes matters into her own hands â€” at the risk of her own career. , As both Barbara and her partner, Inspector Thomas Lynley, soon discover, the case is far more complex than a typical kidnapping, revealing secrets that could have far-reaching effects outside of the investigation. With both her job and the life of a little girl on the line, Barbara must decide what matters most, and how far sheâ€™s willing to go to protect it.
