C.J. Emerson
Social-worker Jess Chadwick left London behind in the hope of escaping the distressing cases she has experienced in the past. But even here, on the idyllic Welsh borders, she cannot escape evil. When she gets news that a young child has been found dead in woods, just a few miles from her house, she discovers that the boy was once her client – a child she was meant to protect.
As her professional life becomes harder to cope with she is also forced to come to terms with her own past, when the daughter she gave up for adoption years ago unexpectedly resurfaces. Jess soon finds herself crossing the line from investigator to suspect to victim, and under pressure from all sides is forced to question the very basis of her identity.
