She lays her baby in his cot the sound of his quiet breath filling the nursery as she leaves the room. Soon Claire will be fast asleep herself. She wont hear the back door opening or the footsteps on the stairs.
When Claire Lucas is woken by her husband asking where their baby son is, she is dazed and confused. When she follows Darren into their childs bedroom, she hears nothing but silence. No baby cries, no cute gurgles. The only thing left in Finlays cot is his beloved teddy bear. Finlay has gone.
Detective Jessie Blake rushes to the familys modern home in the rugged Scottish Highlands.
