What is Daddy Dearest about?

An estranged fathers weekend with his beloved five-year-old daughter turns into a nightmare when she gets into the lift of a city centre tower block and goes down without him. She vanishes without a trace. It sets off a race against time, and a nationwide manhunt, to find her. As the police investigation closes in, suspicion falls on those closest to her - with devastating consequences. Daddy Dearest is a terrifying story of love, obsession and psychological meltdown. 'My daughter has always had a thing about lifts. Theres something about the thrill of pressing a button and seeing the lift doors close which excites her imagination. It terrifies me. Every time she walks in, I imagine its the last time Ill see her. What if she hits the button before I get there? What if the lift doors close and I cant get her out? It drives me nuts. There are eight floors in the Sears building, nine if you count the basement, and the lift is fast: more like a fairground ride, really. It does top to bottom in twelve seconds. Ive timed it. Taking the stairs, Ive done it in forty-two. That leaves a gap of thirty seconds. Youd be surprised what can happen in that time. I was.'
