About this ebook
From the bestselling author of The Stolen Child and The Lighthouse Secret comes a gripping new novel about two abandoned sisters, a missing mother and a shocking thirty year old mystery.
On a cold afternoon in December 1995, two small girls are found abandoned on a platform at Pearse Station in Dublin, Ireland.
Thirty years later, investigative journalist Vega is determined to find out what happened to the so-called 'Nowhere Girls'. Where did their mother go? Why did no one come forward to claim them? And where are they now?
Little does Vega know that her investigation will reveal much more than she bargained for . . .
Praise for Carmel Harrington:
'This complex novel requires faultless plotting, and Harrington pulls it off with consummate ease' SUNDAY TIMES
'One of the greatest twists I've ever read' CATHERINE RYAN HOWARD
'An addictive, immersive, incredibly poignant page-turner' ANDREA MARA
'Clever, compelling and compulsive, a read-until-the-early-hours rollercoaster' AMANDA GEARD
'A compelling, extremely tender page-turner' ADELE PARKS
