Anita’s five-year-old daughter Julie goes missing whilst playing in
the playground on the council estate where they live. A huge police
search is put into action, an incident room created, neighbours
interviewed and arc lamps set up. Twenty-four hours later, hope is
fading of finding Julie alive.
If you’ve seen TV’s “Prime Suspect” series, you know what to expect
here; the grittiness, the politics of British police investigations,
the sharply drawn characters, the unremitting tension. A former actress,
La Plante writes superbly theatrical dialogue for this investigation
of a child’s violation and murder. Perhaps that’s why narrator Rodska
can’t resist showing off his considerable skills with dialects and
impersonation. Except for lapses when he misses the purport of a line,
he does a fine job giving us a detective novel of a high order.
