Michael is devoted to his carer Justine, and when she disappears he is inconsolable. <p/> Julia is quick to report to DCI Neil Paget the girl's failure to return after leaving the house for Sunday service at the local church where she worshipped regularly. <p/> Paget and his team try to piece together her movements; but they encounter little hard evidence, and very little in the way of witnesses, so each day that passes without a sighting of the devout and solitary Justine leads to increased fears for her safety.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A brisk and unusual puzzler-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br>
