The Touch of Innocents — Michael Dobbs

Paul Devereux is one of the most powerful politicians in the country
Isadora Dean is the rising star of television news.
Two exceptionally talented and successful people, drawn into total conflict.

Following a car crash, Izzy is told that her baby daughter has died. Stubbornly, at times irrationally, she refuses to accept it, stumbling in her search for the truth upon a sordid international black market where babies are traded for cash. And behind it all she detects the sinister hand of Devereux.
One woman alone against the world. The search for her daughter will cost Izzy everything, but as long as she has hope, she will never surrender... and Paul Devereux must use any means in his power to crush her.
