Like Daughter
Eight years ago, Caroline Winterton disappeared, a case that fell into the hands of ambitious Sergeant Mike Yeadings. However, the crime -- if indeed there was a crime -- was never solved. But now Caroline's eleven-year-old daughter, Julie is missing. And Yeadings, now detective superintendent, wonders if this episode of déjà vu will finally reveal what happened to the girl's mother.
Yeading's four-member Thames Valley team begins to make inquiries, but the missing child's former nanny and Caroline's brother provoke more questions than answers. Julie's father, Daniel Winterton, a successful but reclusive fiction writer, is predictably grief-stricken -- yet Yeadings senses there's something more to the writers suffering. Has Julie fallen victim to her mother's fate? Did Caroline secretly return to claim her child? The tenacity of the investigative team pays off with a solution as dramatic as it is unexpected.
