"Police helicopters flew low over outlying villages and countryside as far as the county borders, truck drivers were alerted to keep an eye out on the motorway, and the army was brought in to search the fens, but none of them --- from Amelia screaming herself sick in the back garden to the Territorial Army recruits on their hands and knees in the rain on Midsummer Common --- could find a single trace of Olivia, not a hair or a flake of skin, not a pink rabbit slipper nor a blue mouse."
--- Case Histories, Kate Atkinson, 2004
