Rachel Stark is about to live every parent's nightmare: Her nine-year-old son, David, is snatched off the street in broad daylight with no apparent motive and only one clue--his red bicycle lying on the side of the road. Now, already under the strain of a troubled marriage, Rachel must channel every ounce of strength into a desperate search for David. Into this emotionally charged scene arrive Rachel's recently divorced sister, a bombshell who conceals explosive secrets; a by-the-book detective, infuriating in his cold detachment; and a deceptive "saint" of the Missing Child Foundation, who harbors his own hidden agenda. And through it all there is David, still missing, and crying out to be found. But are Rachel's fleeting visions of her terrified child something real or the cruel trick of a mother's heart consumed with love and fear?
