More DescriptionBernie James' life is in freefall again. Having recently discovered the existence of Xandra, his daughter with his recently deceased wife, Lana, he finds himself in the role of single parent responsible for an enigmatic teenage daughter who is already demonstrating the familiar, sometimes disturbing, character traits of her late mother.Xandra has been in trouble at school for the alleged knifing of another student, although it could be argued it was in self-defence. Now she has disappeared and he is desperate to find her. His enquiries bring him back into unwanted contact with his first wife, which he finds no more pleasurable than their marriage. She is just as contentious as she ever was. Unfortunately Xandra has made friends with her daughter and it seems she is the link to Xandra's disappearance. As when he was with Lana, Bernie finds that through Xandra he and she are drawn unwittingly and unwillingly into the world of crime and law-enforcement agencies.
