Declan Scott stood inside the roms looking at Jury as if he were one more disappointment in a long list o them. Police, private investigators - all had failed to find the child Flora.
Brian Macalvie of the Devon and Cornwall police takes this failure expecially hard, since he had headed up the investigation three years ago when Flora disappeared one day from the Lost Gardens of Heligan. And on a shabby London street, another child lies lead. When Richard Jury bends over the body of the little girl, he knows this will be one of the saddest investigations of his life.
