Two stories run alongside each other: Ruth Galloway uncovers bones which are believed to be those of a Victorian baby farmer, while at the same time, someone calling themselves 'The Childminder' is snatching very young children.
The tension builds throughout the book, making for a gripping and compulsive read.
