the crime fiction arena with her smart, innovative and exciting work.
She writes with ambition and grace and constantly delivers the

George P. Pelecanos

Synopsis:

It is early evening, summertime, and hot. Two eleven-year-old girls,
Alice and Ronnie, are on their way home from a swimming party when they
happen to see a stroller with a baby girl sleeping inside, left
unattended on the top step of a house. Ronnie says to Alice: "We have
to take care of this baby." But what exactly does she mean?

Four days later the body of little Olivia Barnes is discovered in a hut
in Baltimore's rambling Leakin Park by a young rookie detective, Nancy
Porter. What can have happened in those four days to bring about this
appalling crime? The girls are arrested and found guilty. Seven years
later Ronnie and Alice, now eighteen, are released from their separate
prisons, back into their old neighbourhood, where the mother of baby
Olivia still lives.

And then another child goes missing
