Charlie Sawyer is shy and reserved, a talented criminal psychologist stuck in a dead-end recruitment job. Ally McFerren is his former flame, a headstrong, American journalist with bags of attitude and a nose for a dangerous story. When Ally's newspaper receives a tip-off about a serious government cover-up, she enlists Charlie's help to investigate, and his quiet existence is threatened. Together they discover much more than they bargained for as their search for the truth leads to a shocking and sinister discovery about Ally's forgotten childhood that neither of them could have foreseen. Looking for Lucy is a mix of fast-paced thriller and heart-warming romance. With wry humour, it explores the idea that our destinies may be found in the very paths we take to avoid them.
