2022: It’s every mother’s worst fear
On a sun-hazed afternoon in the Florida Keys, a child goes missing from the beach. Dr Mirren Fitzpatrick appeals to the world to help find her eight-year-old adopted daughter. The family are on holiday from Ireland, far from home and desperate to return there as they arrived – together.
Yet the police are immediately suspicious of Mirren. She was drinking at a bar – alone – shortly before reporting that her youngest child had disappeared. As rumours abound about Mirren’s past a trial-by-media ensues, and she is turned from a figure of pity to the villain of the piece.
And then a small body is found dumped in the ocean. Is Mirren a heartbroken mother, or the architect of her daughter’s fate?
The Florida Keys
The Florida Keys is a large and anonymous area in this book and provides a beach background to a story of a missing child. The child goes missing on Coral Beach but this could be a beach anywhere apart from the fact that the Florida police come to call.
Kite Island gets a few nice mentions and the islands around the area but the Coral Beach Hotel resort is fictional for obvious reasons.. Milton’s Point is fictional but it is said to be located right at the end tip of the Keys reaching out to Cuba.
