In a London neighbourhood known or its artists and bohemian style, six-year-old Tracey Rudd is abducted from home without any warning, or sign of violence. She is the third girl abducted under similar circumstances in recent weeks. But this case is different. She is the daughter of notorious contemporary artist Gabriel Rudd, best known for the grotesque Dead Puppies, a work centred around his wife's suicide five years earlier. While Gabriel exploits Tracey's abduction as an inspiration for a major new work in his upcoming exhibit, Detective Chief Inspector David Brock and Detective Sergeant Kathy Kolla hunt for the missing girls' kidnapper, who is suspiciously connected to the eccentric community artists, dealers, and collectors in the neighbourhood.
