Summary: When researcher Brodie Farrell is asked to locate the whereabouts of a young man, Daniel Hood, she sees nothing suspicious in the request. Duly finds him, passes his details on to her client, and commends herself on a job well done. But a few days later Brodie is overcome by guilt, Daniel is in a life-threatening coma - if it wasn't for her efforts, none of this would have happened. So she resolves to do everything she can to bring Daniel's attackers to justice. But, when Daniel does eventually regain consciousness, he isn't much help to Brodie. Until he was snatched from his ordinary life, he hadn't known he had an enemy in the world. All he knows is that the men who hurt him were looking for someone called Sophie - and he doesn't know anyone of that name. Daniel needs to understand what has happened to him and why he has been left scarred for life. The journey of discovery that he and Brodic embark upon leads them into a deeper and more complex tragedy than either first imagined
