In the thin glow of moonlight, a mess of auburn curls gleams against the rocks. A girls pale hand reaches from a cleft in the boulders, waving weakly. But its too late. A wall of raging white water crashes down, swallowing her whole.... A knock on the door late in the evening can only mean trouble for Detective Josie Quinn, but fear chokes her at the news that one of her own team is missing. No one has seen Denton PDs Press Liaison Amber for days and, as she follows the message scrawled on the frosted windscreen of Ambers car to a nearby dam, Josie hears a piercing scream that tells her shes too late. But the body they pull from the freezing water is not Amber.... Josie wont sleep until she finds a name for the beautiful girl left to drown, and the meaning of the numbers scribbled in a tattered pink diary found on Ambers desk. She must stay strong and focused for her close-knit team. But as rumors of an argument the night Amber disappeared surface, can she even trust her own colleagues? Cracking the cryptic numbers reveals a twisted truth about Ambers family - did anyone really know Amber at all? Finding her alive is Josies only chance of knowing the truth. But as a blizzard closes in, how many more precious lives will be snatched before she can?
