Publisher's Synopsis
Children's author Joy Davis mysteriously disappears after her car crashes during a snowstorm on the outskirts of Liverpool. Has she simply escaped her cheating and wasteful husband Jon or has something more menacing happened? Could her disappearance be linked to her writing which has moved in a new, darker, direction, following her interest in the story of a convicted serial killer? Or has she simply decided to disappear like Agatha Christie?
Her friend, Naomi Richards, decides to investigate and discovers that Joy's disappearance is more menacing and leads her and journalist Sandra Parry into uncovering a conspiracy involving murder, intrigue and trafficking. But Joy isn't dead despite an attempt to murder her and she eventually tells of her ordeal and how she survived. She carefully plans her revenge to bring her 'murderer' to justice.
