The inside cover text reads:

In the UK, someone is reported missing every 90 seconds.
Just gone. Vanished. In the blink of an eye.

DCS Kat Frank knows all about loss. A widowed single mother, Kat is a cop who trusts her instincts. Picked to lead a pilot programme tht has her paired with AIDE Lock (Artificially Intelligent Dectective Entity) Kat's instincts come up against Lock's logic. But when the two missing persons cold cases they are reviewing suddenly become active, Lock is the only one who can help Kat when the case gets personal.

AI versus human experience.
Logic versus instinct.
With lives on the line can the two of them work together before someone else becomes another statistic?

This was featured on BBC2's Between the Covers book review programme and looked interesting. There are parts of the proposed AI technology that are currently far-fetched and might have worked better with Star Trek's Lieutenant Commander Data, but on the whole it's a reasonably fast-paced page turner to while away a wet weekend.
