Four-year-old Robin has been kidnapped, apparently by his father - the ex-husband of one of Mark s patients, Hazel.The thought of her child in the hands of an unbalanced drug addict is driving Hazel crazy but, in the face of a threat to kill Robin if the police are involved, her hands are tied.There seems to be no way that Tam and Fizz, his sleuthing partner, can rescue Robin unless Fizz - resourceful, intuitive and often daringly foolhardy - can find a way. But this time it s not only Fizz who is walking on thin ice ...
