Publisher's Synopsis
When a cargo ship runs aground off the Irish coast, the police are horrified to find the captain dead at the helm, the crew missing, and three little red-haired children, terrified but unharmed, locked in the galley kitchen. As an expert detective running a child-centred taskforce, Detective Tessa Burns is called in to lead the case. Despite Tessa's best efforts, the children won't reveal a thing - not even their own names. Slowly gaining their trust, Tessa uncovers a deadly secret about their past - and the mystery of their missing parents' whereabouts - that turns everything she thought she knew on its head.
