Description
*From the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award-winning HOLLY WATT*
They take the girls…
Investigative journalist Casey Benedict is used to working on stories that will take her from the bottom to the top of society – stories with a huge human cost. And her latest case is no different.
When a frantic message is found hidden in clothes manufactured for the British high street, Casey embarks on a race to find those who are taken, and who is responsible.
But identifying the factories in which the clothes have been made is one challenge, following the trail of those taken is another. Their attempts to find the girls will take Casey from her London newsroom to the streets of Bangladesh and into the very heart of families who will be destroyed if what she uncovers is ever revealed.
