    Alice Fancourt a été éloignée de chez elle seulement deux heures, mais elle a hâte de retrouver sa fille, la petite Florence âgée de deux semaines. En entrant dans l'allée de sa maison, elle comprend immédiatement qu'il y a un problème. La porte est ouverte, les pièces plongées dans le silence. En courant vers la chambre de l'enfant, elle découvre avec horreur qu'il ne s'agit pas de sa fille qui dort dans le berceau. À la place, une autre nourrisson, un autre visage, un autre pleur. Mais où est Florence ? Comment David, son mari, qui devait s'occuper de l'enfant, n'a-t-il rien remarqué ? C'est le début d'un cauchemar. Personne ne la croit, ni David ni sa belle-mère Vivienne. Pour eux, Alice est simplement dépressive et refuse sa fille. Alors que David devient de plus en plus agressif, Alice n'a d'autre choix que de se tourner vers la police. La sergente Charlie Zailer et le détective Simon Waterhouse prennent en charge l'affaire. Alice n'a aucune preuve, seulement sa certitude maternelle que ce visage et cette odeur ne sont pas ceux de l'enfant qu'elle a porté pendant neuf mois. La seule solution est de convaincre la police de réaliser un test ADN. Mais chaque minute compte et le temps passe... jusqu'à ce qu'Alice et le nourrisson disparaissent soudainement.

'Beautifully written' Daily Express 'Terrifying' Heat Murder begins at home . . . TV producer Fliss Benson receives an anonymous card at work.

The documentary will focus on three women: Helen Yardley, Sarah Jaggard and Rachel Hines. All three women are now free, and the doctor who did her best to send them to prison for life, child protection zealot Dr Judith Duffy, is under investigation for misconduct. For reasons she has shared with nobody, this is the last project Fliss wants to be working on.

Soon Connie is clicking on the 'Virtual Tour' button, keen to see the inside of 11 Bentley Grove and put her mind at rest once and for all. She finds herself looking at a scene from a nightmare: in the living room, in the middle of the carpet, there's a woman lying face down in a huge pool of blood. In shock, Connie wakes her husband Kit. But when Kit sits down at the computer to take a look, he sees no dead body, only a pristine beige carpet in a perfectly ordinary room . . .
