Following an argument with her British boyfriend, Chinese student Min Li is abducted whilst walking the dark streets of picturesque Stratford-upon-Avon alone.
Trapped in a dark pit, Min is at the mercy of her captor. Detective Inspector Will Jackman is tasked with solving the case and in his search for answers discovers that the truth is buried deeper than he ever expected.
But, as another student vanishes and Min grows ever weaker, time is running out. Can Jackman track down the kidnapper, before it's too late?

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5While a student at Stratford-upon-Avon Chinese student Min Li has been kidnapped and kept in an underground room. Can Detective Inspector Jackman and his team find her before she dies.
An interesting mystery and a good solid start to the series. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I quite liked this book. It was ok, but not really sinister enough for my tastes!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Excellent book! Jane Isaac delivers this intriguing mystery with impeccable timing. The use of multiple narrators was very well done, allowing us to get to know both Min and Jackman, and occasionally another mysterious character that gets revealed near the end. Some authors of detective stories try so hard to make sure that the reader doesn’t figure things out until the very end, which can often leave gaping holes and details that make no sense when looking at the plot as a whole. This is not the case with this book – it all comes together in a way that feels right to the reader, even if it was slightly predictable. I would definitely recommend this book and would gladly read others by this author.
