'No one will invest in a business focussed on family violence - it's the opposite of sexy.'
Lauren Brown, owner of Weeping Angels, smiled. 'Maybe to men.'
Business is booming for Weeping Angels - an agency that helps victims of family violence obtain protection orders. Lauren, who ambitiously wants to fix the justice system, contacts journalist Grace ('Ace') Marks to increase pressure on the government. A woman who obsessively guards her privacy and her past, Lauren knows she will need to step out of the shadows where she has lived her entire life.
When Lauren disappears after visiting a friend, and the police list her as 'just another' missing person, a mystified Grace investigates. But who is Lauren? Is that her real name? What sinister forces are at work in her disappearance? And why can't the police find out where she lives?
Grace, determined to discover what's happened to Lauren, has a problem - where to start.
