Dee is a worried woman -her marriage to the philandering Hal is in trouble ,but more disturbing still ,her 19 year old daughter,Connie ,is missing .Connie was in London ,on a junior exchange programme .Dee flies to London from her Connecticut home and begins looking for her daughter .,who we are told has amnesia ,and is wondering the London streets .Connie is blocking out some traumatic incident that has recently happened to her and we learn that it is connected to a thick wad of blood stained £ 50 notes that she is carrying around .
dee finds the College authorities at Connie's school unhelpful ,with Acting Dean Standfast refusing to acknowledge any problem exists .Copnnie's room-mates are clearly covering up for her and only the ebullient academic Connor, a messy bear of a man ,seems inclined to take Dee seriously until further help arrives in the form of Thatchpole ,A Midlands entrpreneur whose own daughter is missing and joins in the search.
Dee and Thatchpole are not alone in hunting Connie -so too are those whose ill gotten money Connie is holding onto and who are not well disposed towards the two missing girls .
The book works well until near the end when the climax relies too heavily on coincidence and lucky accidents thus negating its impact a tad
Good solid middleweight fare but a long way away from the top echelon of crime writing
