Meet Rina Martin, a retired actress with a taste for tea, gardening and crime solving. She played a TV sleuth for years, but now she has to do it for real. There's something strange about the scene . . . Famous artist Jean appears to have passed peacefully in her sleep as she rested against an old tree in the garden of her home, the Willows. Her legs are outstretched, hands tenderly clutching a small blue flower. But upon closer inspection, things don't add up. Where is Jean's trusty walking stick? She can't move anywhere without it. Why did she choose to slumber on the ground when there is a comfortable lounge chair nearby? Where did that blue flower come from . . . not from her garden, that's for sure. The clues soon point to murder. But dear Jean was beloved by the community, who would do such a thing . . . ? Her grandson is determined to uncover the truth and hires Rina to investigate. The trail leads Rina to a series of shocking secrets, stretching back over twenty years. And a murderer who still has unfinished business . . . Can our favourite amateur sleuth catch this killer before it's too late?

The man climbs a ladder, slides a gloved finger through the slightly open window and enters the room. He wraps 14-month-old Joshua Banks in his blanket and takes him from his cot. In his place he leaves a printed note. Do not call the police. You will receive details for a bank transfer in due course. Your child will be well cared for and be returned unharmed provided you do exactly as you are told. Call the police and we will kill him. If you are in any doubt as to the seriousness of this, then call this number. At 2 a.m. Joshua's mother gets up to go to the toilet and sees her son is gone. She calls the phone number. It's for another family whose child was also taken. Detectives Toby Clarke and Petra Merrow are in a race against time to get Joshua back. Because if they don't find him soon, he won't be the last child to go missing. An electrifying crime mystery full of twists and turns perfect for fans of C. L. Taylor, D. E. White, Claire McGowan, Rachel Abbott, Helen H. Durrant, Patricia Gibney, Karin Slaughter, Lynda La Plante and Angela Marsons.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR BOUNDARY ISSUES""Jane Adams gets at the heart of human relationships by illuminating the boundaries that create and sustain them. Taking on a subject that everyone talks about but few people really understand, she breaks new psychological ground in this accessible, empathetic, and original book that offers concrete assistance and wise counsel to all who struggle with the central dilemma of being human--being both separate and connected, intimate as well as autonomous, without sacrificing the self.""--Edward Hallowell, M. D., coauthor of Delivered from Distraction""Understanding and respecting our own boundaries and others' is at the core of a happy life. Boundary Issues is a terrific journey into our own psychological needs, strengths, and weaknesses. We could all save a lot of therapeutic intervention by reading and following Dr. Adams's observations and suggestions.""--Pepper Schwartz, Ph. D., author of Love Between Equals: How Peer Marriage Really Works""All too rarely someone comes along who is able to turn a single phrase into a changed outlook on life. Dr. Jane Adams does that with Boundary Issues. By following Dr. Jane Adams's guidance and helpful exercises, each of us can find the freedom to love, work, negotiate, play, and live on our own terms.""--Suzanne Braun Levine, author of Inventing the Rest of Our Lives: Women in Second Adulthood""I find this book vitally helpful, both personally and in my work as a psychotherapist. Learning to negotiate distance and intimacy is a huge issue for women who think that being joined at the hip is necessary for a relationship to survive.""--Colette Dowling, author of The Cinderella Complex and You Mean I Don't Have to Feel This Way?""With her trademark wit and clarity, Jane Adams pulls at the threads that tie us together and tear us apart. She has translated decades of research into wise and inventive tools. Boundary Issues is the definitive book about finding both intimacy and independence.""--Dr. Barbara Mackoff, author of Leadership as a Habit of Mind and Growing a Girl""Through her prescriptive advice and fascinating and relevant personal stories, Jane Adams helps us understand how to use Boundary Intelligence for happiness and personal growth.""--Carole Hyatt, coauthor of When Smart People Fail: Rebuilding Yourself for Success
