At age eight, Jenny Rowan was abducted and kept for two years in a box beneath her captor's bed. Eventually she escaped and, after living for eighteen months on cast-offs at the local mall, was put into the child-care system. Suing for emancipation, at age sixteen she became a legal adult. Nowadays she works as a production editor for the local public TV station, and is one of the world's good people.

One evening she returns home to find a detective waiting for her. Though her records are sealed, he somehow knows her story. He asks if she can help with a young woman who, like her many years before, has been abducted and traumatised. Initially hesitant, Jenny decides to get involved, reviving buried memories and setting in motion an unexpected chain of events.

Industry Reviews

The thriller writer's thriller writer. His prose is intense... his stories so dark they almost inflict pain, and his sense of place exact -- Geoffrey Wansell * Daily Mail *
Haunting and immensely readable -- Andrew Taylor * Spectator *
Others Of My Kind possesses an emotional depth that Sallis, or any other crime writer, has rarely reached before -- Doug Johnstone * Independent on Sunday *
a terrific, stripped-back novella -- Doug Johnstone * Herald Scotland: Books of 2013 *
Yes, Sallis seems to be saying in this unusually positive novel, life can be cruel, but it need not destroy us -- Mary Whipple * Amazon *
