Amy's ageing foster mother won't be around forever. Soon she will be alone in her adopted world. As personal tragedy hits hard along with issues of morality, Amy sets off on a mission of self-discovery to unearth her missing years.
Haunted by an unexplained scar on her left foot, she discovers a coded list of foreign names, international addresses and inexplicable passport stamps, exposing lie after lie told by her foster parents.
She decides to stop at nothing to unearth exactly what they kept buried from the world. But she is attacked in the night, her home is ransacked and all she is left with is one address in Morocco.
Travelling to the shanty towns and palaces of Casablanca, Amy quickly realises that her own life is very much in danger. As the clues lead her close to unearthing her truth, she disturbs it, alerting the gang to her existence. Her truth will do anything to stay hidden.
More sinister untruths lead her back to London and a dark, Chechen underworld, where she discovers she was third on a coded, list of stolen children. As the gang looks to silence her, Amy's quest for knowledge turns into a battle just to stay alive. Murder follows murder. Scotland Yard links each to Amy Walker. She's a vigilante desperate for revenge.
For Amy, obsession has taken over. As her life descends into a whirlwind of former SAS agents, Chechen warlords and Russian hit men, she realises her quest is about so much more than just her past.
The gang that took her is still in operation and ready to strike again in Barcelona.
But Child No. 3 must be silenced. Little Girl Lost must never be found.
