The vanishing of English 3-year-old Madeleine McCann in Portugal and the search on a push-bike around Europe by Australian father Ken Thompson, who successfully found his son Andrew in Amsterdam 3 years after after he was abducted by his mother when 3 years old, both highlight the incidence of missing children across international borders. There are thousands more stories like Madeleine's and Andrew's, very few with happy endings.

Astonishingly, thousands of parents abduct their OWN children every day, to hide them from the parent they leave behind. Taken in Contempt (3rd Ed.) impartially tells the stories that describe the heartbreak and danger and chronicle the incredible courage and risks people take in the name of love. Author Robin Bowles has first hand knowledge of IPCA. In 1999 her own grandson was taken to the other side of the world.

Recommended as 'A book that needed to be written' by a Chief Justice of the Family Court, this book fearlessly explores all aspects of this modern dilemma. It's moving, engrossing and totally compelling.

ROBIN BOWLES - WRITER AND INVESTIGATOR

In 1996 Robin read a newspaper report about the alleged suicide of Victorian country housewife Jennifer Tanner. Guessing there might be a book in the 'story behind the news' she closed her PR consultancy for a year and wrote her first book, Blind Justice (now in its eight reprint). She's written a best-seller almost every year since, including the definitive books on the Jaidyn Leskie murder, Justice Denied, and the disappearance and alleged murder of British tourist Peter Falconio, Dead Centre.

During her new career as an investigative writer, she also obtained a university diploma to qualify her as a private inquiry agent. Widely recognised as Australia's foremost true crime writer, she has also started writing fiction, with her first book released in 2007, The Curse of the Golden Yo Yo followed by The Mystery of the Missing Masterpiece. (See books). She is a national convenor of Sisters in Crime Australia and lives in a Melbourne warehouse with her husband, Clive.
