Read by Lucy Scott It was a media circus of the sort that only the British tabloids can create: the kidnapping of beautiful Susan Blackstock by a radical group - and the refusal of her multimillionaire husband to pay the £10 million ransom. Eight-year-old Dodie Blackstock never saw her mother again.
Now twenty-nine, Dodie has struggled for two decades to step out from the shadows of past tragedy and her father’s wealth. But a visit from two policemen changes everything. They bring the news she has waited for years to hear, yet it is completely unexpected. Susan Blackstock’s body has finally been found - and she has been dead only forty-eight hours. ‘Wilson has an ear for dialogue and a gift for creating believable characters. This is real class.’ The Sunday Telegraph Lucy Scott trained at the Central School of Speech and Drama.
Her theatre work includes Emma at the Tricycle Theatre, Fanny Price in Mansfield Park and Sybil in Private Lives. She had toured the country playing Anita in Quartermaine’s Terms and her television work includes Hearts & Bones, Sunny’s Ears and Charlotte Lucas in the BBC series Pride and Prejudice.
