Against the Light by Marjorie Eccles

A baby is kidnapped - and the repercussions reach the highest levels of government in this absorbing historical mystery.
London, April, 1912. The third Irish Home Rule Bill is passing through Parliament and the situation is growing ever more tense. Closely involved in the negotiations, cabinet minister Edmund Latimer finds himself under growing pressure - which only intensifies when his seventh-month-old niece Lucy is snatched away in her pram in Regent's Park.
Could there be a connection between Lucy's kidnapping and the Irish talks? With her husband under intolerable strain, Edmund's wife Alice makes it her business to find out. But the more she discovers, the more she realizes how little she really knows the man she married five years before.
Marjorie Eccles was born in Yorkshire, England and spent her childhood there and on the Northumbrian coast. She has written over a score of books, including the Gil Mayo mysteries which feature Superintendent Mayo and his assistant, Inspector Abigail Moon.
The series is set on the edge of the Black Country, where she lived for over thirty years. She is also a writer of short stories and her books have been translated into many languages and have been serialized in British and foreign magazines.
