Sumár recenzie
V piatej časti série s Kate Marshall od Roberta Bryndzu (The Lost Victim) autor rozvíja nevyriešený prípad zmiznutia školáčky Janey Macklinovej z roku 1988. O tri desaťročia neskôr si súkromní detektívi Kate Marshall a Tristan Harper berú zákazku od kreatívnej agentúry, ktorá skúma, či za tým nestojí Peter Conway (Kanibal z Nine Elms), pričom staré spisy sú plné nejasností a klienti majú pochybné väzby. Postavy sú tentoraz v lepšej životnej kondícii — Kate menej bojuje s alkoholom a vzťah so synom sa zlepšil, čo dovolí sústredenejšie vyšetrovanie. Recenzent označuje tento diel za najvydarenejší v sérii, chváli tempo a napätie a odporúča čítať knihy postupne, pretože prípad nadobúda zmysel až v závere.
