His attraction to this take-charge beauty is turning him inside out. But these adversaries have more in common than secret, mutual desire. There's a traitor somewhere in the dark ops and now, to find him, David and Sophie must work together--relentlessly, tirelessly, and so intimately it could be damn near fatal.

La guardería de la clínica es un lugar moderno y aparentemente idílico en el que apenas hay diez alumnos, todos ellos hijos de los pacientes del psiquiátrico. Los niños mantienen contacto con sus padres, pero siempre de un modo controlado, y Jan es el responsable de crear un clima de «normalidad» en un lugar plagado de malos recuerdos y accidentes inexplicables. Tras un período de prueba, Jan resulta ser un profesor indispensable, responsable y serio. No obstante, ¿cuál es la verdadera razón de que Jan esté en la guardería de un remoto centro psiquiátrico? Tal vez tenga algo que ver con Alice Rami, una residente del hospital. ¿Y cuál es la historia que esconde Jan? Porque hace años que Jan oculta algo: nunca se habló de los sucesos que tuvieron lugar en otra guardería, hace unos años, cuando llevó a un grupo de niños de excursión al bosque y volvió con uno menos# ¿Fue un secuestro? ¿Un asesinato? ¿O una desaparición?
