Once you heard bank robber and violent criminal 'Upper' North's voice, you never forget it. And Pauline Lewins, brutalised and terrified when he robbed her bank, knew she never wanted to hear it again. But she just did, at Silvermeadow, the largest shopping mall in England -- so large that it's more like a small city than a department store. Detective Chief Inspector David Brock and Detective Sergeant Kathy Kolla of Scotland Yard are called in to investigate the reappearance of one of the most violent criminals Brock has ever come across.

And fourteen-year-old Kerri Vlasich is missing. She's been gone for two days now and her mother's only just called the police. Kerri's been at Silvermeadow too -- she's got a job there. But there are other stories about Silvermeadow, stories about missing girls that make her mother Alison Vlasich's blood run cold.

Trying to investigate one case without being seen to be interested in the other, Brock and Kolla come up against dead-ends everywhere. Until Kathy Kolla decides to follow up some leads of her own, leaving herself open to danger. And going solo can be very dangerous...

About the Author: Barry Maitland

Barry Maitland is the author of the acclaimed Brock and Kolla series of crime mystery novels set in London, where Barry grew up after his family moved there from Paisley in Scotland where he was born. He studied architecture at Cambridge University, and went on to work as an architect in the UK, then took a PhD in urban design at the University of Sheffield, where he also taught and wrote a number of books on architecture and urban design. In 1984 he moved to Australia to head the architecture school at the University of Newcastle in New South Wales, and held that position until 2000.

The books have been described as whydunits as much as whodunits, concerned with the devious histories and motivations of their characters. Barry's background in architecture drew him to the structured character of the mystery novel, and his books are notable for their ingenious plots as well as for their atmospheric settings, each in a different intriguing corner of London.

Barry Maitland now writes fiction full time, and lives in the Hunter Valley.
