Description"Forty-eight hours, that's what they reckon, isn't it? 48 hours. If you don't find them in that, likely they're sodding dead." A cabbie's just been beaten up, there's a drunk and disorderly in the interview room, and a possible child abuser on the way in. Nothing unusual there, then, just a pretty normal Christmas holiday for DI Resnick and his team. Normal, that is, until Dana Matheison calls to report her flatmate, Nancy, missing.

Pretty soon the police have proof that Nancy was kidnapped, and then, as the New Year celebrations wind down, the first tape arrives - and Resnick knows they're dealing with a dangerous psychopath.
