Carly is an artist. She is having an affair with Nelson Carter, a fairly famous artist for a number of years.
She takes care of Jake, Nelson's young son, and loves him as a mother should, his own mother doesn't have time for Jake.
Amanda is attacked and the woman that comes back from the hospital is a stranger. Jake insists this woman is not his mother.


This is the second book that I have read by Theo Baxter. I was gripped, but some parts were a bit far fetched. I can't understand why the police fobbed Carly's concerns off the way they did, even with video evidence.
There was a good twist concerning Jake's mother, one I didn't predict.
