When two five-year-old twins are abducted from a campsite in the Lake District, their grandfather, Major Stanley Timms, distrustful of the floundering police investigation, decides to bring in his own Special Forces unit to investigate the case. Headed by the unconventional and irrepressible John Tankersley, members of this force are beyond police jurisdiction and play by their own rules – but even these may not be enough, as the chilling case seems to implicate both a sophisticated international people-trafficking ring and the family itself… An intense thriller full of twists and turns.
