Description

When the body of fourteen-year-old Tracey Eadie washes ashore near Glasgow, her death is dismissed as another tragedy of heroin addiction. But Tracey came from a children’s home, and the circumstances that carried her from institutional care to a lonely beach raise troubling questions. As the search for answers unfolds, the investigation exposes a city marked by poverty, neglect, and lives society would rather overlook. Gritty and compassionate, this crime novel explores the cost of indifference and the determination to give a forgotten girl a voice.
