It's Jemima's first day back at work after maternity leave. It was always going to be heart-wrenching leaving baby Finlay, but this is about to be one of the longest days of her life. Cardiff, early morning.Two men are abducted - not even ten miles apart. The first, high court judge Rory Lawson, is kidnapped on a quiet country road. From the blood in his car, it's clear he was taken by force. The second man isn't so lucky. His bound and gagged body is found in the middle of the motorway. In a case where nothing is as it seems, the one thing Jemima knows is that she must find the link between the two men. But the clock is ticking. Because time is about to run out for the missing judge . . .
