Críticas:

Exquisite as fine jewellery. (Lee Child DAILY EXPRESS, 7 Jul 06)

Reseña del editor:

It is early evening, summer time and hot. Two eleven-year-old girls, Alice and Ronnie, are on their way home from a swimming party when they happen to see a baby's stroller, with baby girl sleeping inside, left unattended on the top step of a house.

What can have happened in those four days to bring about this appalling crime? The girls are arrested and found guilty.

Another child goes missing, and Nancy Porter and her partner get the case ...
