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 twenty-five-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.
Twenty-five 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...
