Aimee Leduc has been working on a client’s security programme when she
receives a mysterious phone call from a woman who seems to know her.
Aimee doesn’t recognise the voice, but the woman seems terrified and
asks Aimee to go to her courtyard. In the courtyard, she discovers a
newborn baby girl. What is she supposed to do now?
Her partner, Rene Friant, comes over to help her finish the security
programme. He is shocked to find the baby there. Once done the
programme, Aimee goes out in search of the mother. She is sure that she
is being followed, so makes a run for it.
Fortunately, the following morning, when Aimee has a meeting, she has a
friend who is willing to help with the baby. Later, a chance meeting at
the morgue with a young man, sets Aimee off in search of him. She goes
to his place, but he’s not in. A picture that he has left behind helps
her possibly identify the mother of the baby.
As the hours go by, Aimee becomes more and more attached to the baby.
She decides to call her Stella. Aimee sets out to search for the
mother, and quickly discovers that the woman who she thought was the
mother isn’t. She now has a new quest.
However, her search leads to more than she bargained for. Her client is
murdered, and it appears that he had a connection to the mother of the
baby.
How will Aimee solve this conundrum? Author Cara Black’s thriller is
fast paced as usual, keeping Aimee Leduc barely ahead of severe troubles
that could do her in. A very good read.
