It’s a cold November afternoon and Rose Trevelyan is at Marazion Beach overlooking St. Michael’s Mount trying to capture an image of the blustering seascape.
Suddenly she sees a distress flare go up from a yacht in the bay. Rose immediately alerts the Coast Guard and waits with the small crowd gathered on the beach to watch the rescue mission.
Then something catches her eye: a four-year-old girl wandering along the shore in the pelting rain on her own.
Rose watches as a man approaches the little one — the girl lifts her arms up ready to be carried home.
Then a piercing scream startles the bystanders on the beach. A mother has lost her daughter — and her description matches the little girl Rose has just seen being carried to the car park.
The man wasn’t the girl’s father. And now she’s missing.
Rose is racked with guilt for not intervening. There’s one person she knows she can rely on to help, her on-again off-again boyfriend Detective Jack Pearce.
