Summary:
Altaïr has always had dreams-premonitions-of things to come. Usually he would ignore this sight. But when he begins to have dreams of a little girl abducted from her own front yard and the same girl now older, begging for help, he knows better than to just ignore them. His research into local missing persons suggests that the girl in his dreams is Alya Al-Sayf, the daughter of college professor Malik Al-Sayf. A girl who in the eyes of the public is dead, but Altaïr is sure she is still alive and needs help.
Malik’s world crumbled four years ago when his daughter was abducted and murdered by serial killer Warren Vidic. Barely able to rebuild his life, and emotionally shattered from his loss, he is reluctant to trust a stranger. Instead Altaïr finds he is angered rather than relieved to hear Altaïr’s theory that Alya is still alive. Certain that he’s right and unwilling to give up, Altaïr persists until Malik begrudgingly agrees to investigate the claim.
As Altaïr’s dreams begin to uncover clues about Alya’s disappearance, answers to unsolved questions begin to emerge, answers that those hidden in the shadows are desperate to keep in the dark, and will do anything to keep it so.
