Gone

Mo Hayder once again had me with "Gone", I could not put this book down until I had finished it.

Detective Inspector Jack Caffery is brought in to investigate a car jacking in which an 11 year old girl has been taken.  She continues to be missing.  His whole staff gets involved because no one wants to see a child endangered.

Flea Marley and her underwater unit are brought in to help with the investigation.  Meantime another car is highjacked, this time with a four year old girl in it.

The culprit seems to be mocking the police, knowing what they are doing at every turn.  The victims' families are not safe even if they are in safe houses.  The person at the centre of the crime knows exactly every move that the police make.

As usual, Flea being headstrong, commences her own search.  Naturally Flea manages to get herself into some difficulties during her investigation, which leads to an explosive conclusion.
