In the summer of 1981, two-year-old Tamsin Hall was abducted and her seven-year-old sister Miranda was knocked down and killed by the abductor's van. One of the witnesses to this tragic event was David Umber who was waiting nearby to keep an appointment with a man who never showed up. Tamsin was never seen again.
In the spring of 2004 retired Chief Inspector George Sharp receives a letter accusing him of bungling the 1981 investigation. He confronts Umber, whose explanation for being at the scene of the tragedy has always seemed dubious. Obliged to accept Umber's denials, he nonetheless forces him to join in a search for the real culprit - and the long concealed truth about what happened twenty three years earlier...
