Publisher's summary

Money, the need of an estranged parent, paedophiles, or trafficking are the usual motives for kidnappers. If their plans fail, fear and panic may end in murder.

It is June 1995 in Sydney, Australia. Detective Chief Inspector Martin Janson is investigating a heinous crime: a small boy is missing. It appears random and motiveless. Janson is frustrated due to there being no witnesses and few clues.

A troubled Irishman is said to have a "mysterious gift", which he uses in the TV show "Spirits and Mind-Blowing Magic". His manager, a flamboyant, loud showman, a known paedophile, a children’s entertainer, and a Scotsman are all suspects.

The Irishman, Kieran Madigan, may be a phony, and his "mysterious gift" thought up for the TV show. Barchester, his manager, is a liar and a fraud, but does that make him guilty?

In Melbourne, where two women are found dead, a Scotsman is a major suspect. A Scot was seen near the scene of the crime in Sydney. Is there a connection?

Detective Chief Inspector Janson and his team race the clock to solve the mystery and find the murderers before it is too late to save the child.
