- Synopsis
- Abandoned by her lover when she tells him she is pregnant, Joy Prentice becomes a single parent to her daughter Sally. She struggles to keep them both going by typing at home and working at night in a restaurant. While she is waitressing, Sally sleeps in a back room behind the restaurant; but one night Joy's world is turned upside down when the child is kidnapped from her bed. Joy welcomes the support of Rory Baird, a Canadian whom she has recently met in a nearby churchyard where she played with Sally and where he was tracing his family history. When a note with a request is delivered to Joy, she complies with the demand and, in so doing, tries to detect any clues to the identity of the kidnappers. Scraps of information come her way but seem to lead to dead ends. Joy must follow a maze of tangled clues as an increasingly suspenseful search develops in this compulsively appealing thriller. Last Seen Wearing is the story of an ordinary woman, a mother, thrust into the most extraordinary of circumstances. Veronica Black is the author of A Vow of Silence (SMP, 1990). She lives in England.
