Publisher Description
A daughter gone. A father hunting. Two lives at stake. From the CWA GOLD DAGGER AWARD-winning author of CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
YOU WILL NEVER FIND ME. When Charlie Boxer reads this note from his daughter in her empty room, the words only reinforce what he already knows: he's always got his priorities wrong. His ex-wife, DCI Mercy Danquah, and their daughter, Amy, have learned to live without him.
Boxer's work in high-stakes kidnap and recovery has taken him to places from which no man returns unscathed. And Amy has been around enough police business to plan the perfect disappearing act. But what Amy doesn't realise - and Boxer knows only too well - is how quickly a life can fall apart when you're living under the radar.
Charlie follows Amy's tracks from London to Madrid - but will the trail last long enough for him to face up to the true meaning of the sins of the fathers?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Gold Dagger Award winner Wilson's less than successful sequel to 2013's Capital Punishment, 17-year-old Amy Boxer leaves a note for her parents at her local London police station announcing that she's bored with her life and leaving home ("you will never find me"). Ironically, both her parents, who are estranged from each other, are missing-persons professionals: Det. Insp. Mercy Danquah is with a special kidnap unit, and Charles Boxer is a freelance kidnap consultant. Mercy and Boxer regard her message as a dare, but are frantic to find her safe and sound. Improbably, with Amy's whereabouts still a mystery, Mercy is allowed back at work and assigned to a sensitive case involving the abducted son of a former member of the FSB, who was investigating a friend's poisoning with polonium. Wilson throws a couple of curveballs into the plot, but some feel gimmicky, and the ending will strike some readers as a cheat.
