She lifted her granddaughter from the cot, clutching her tightly, and fled the house without looking at her daughter lying dead on the floor. Only outside did she let out a wail, startling the baby into joining her screams. When Isabel Gallagher is discovered murdered in her baby's nursery by her mother, it presents a challenging case for Detective Lottie Parker. Isabel's pajamas are torn, her throat cut, and an old-fashioned razor blade is placed in her hand. Lottie is baffled by who would harm such an innocent family. On the same day, Lottie receives tragic news: another young mother, Joyce Breslin, is missing, and her four-year-old son Evan has been abducted from daycare. Convinced that Joyce and her son are connected to Isabel's death, Lottie finds a bloody razor blade in their home, confirming her fears. Determined to locate Evan, Lottie investigates the pasts of both women and discovers they had been meeting in secret, prompting her to uncover the reason behind their connection. As Joyce's body is found in a murky pond and small bones are discovered on a hillside, Lottie realizes the killer is relentless. While the bones aren't Evan's, they may hold the key to finding the innocent child before more lives are lost.
