Silvermeadow is a "super shopping mall" that caters for a lifestyle experience. But the only experiences that DCI Brock and DS Kolla are investigating are the disappearance of a teenage girl and the reappearance of one of the most violent criminals Brock has come up against. Can they believe the rumour mill? Have there been other girls connected with Silvermeadow never heard from again? And what about Gregory "Upper" North - what has brought him back to England and why at Silvermeadow?
As Kolla works more and more on her own, chasing leads that seem to go nowhere, she finds herself open to increasing dangers. And going solo can be very dangerous. . .
