Jobless in Glasgow, Lindsay Gordon makes friends with a young freelance journalist Rory McLaren. But when a local car-dealer's stepson is kidnapped, Lindsay and Rory are invited to trade journalism for detection. The trail leads them to St Petersburg and a dangerous snatch-back operation. It becomes clear that Lindsay and Rory have stumbled into a bigger, more violent piece of business than either of them could have guessed.

Val McDermid grew up in Kirkcaldy on the east coast of Scotland, then read English at Oxford. She was a journalist for sixteen years, spending the last three as Northern Bureau Chief of a national Sunday tabloid. Now a full-time writer, she divides her time between Manchester and Northumberland.
This slow-starting mystery features Lindsay Gordon, an out-of-work reporter, and her partner, Sophie, in their quest for Sophie to get pregnant, and Rory McLaren, a freelance reporter. Once the listener finally learns of the hostage situation, Rory and Lindsay begin their hunt to unravel the crime. Narrating in a quiet voice, Vari Sylvester sounds emotionally uninvolved as she describes both action scenes and the intimate relationship between Lindsay and Sophie. Sylvester handles the details with professional aplomb while following the two-pronged plot to get Sophie pregnant and find the kidnapped child.
