The hunt : a Kiwi mum, her kidnapped babies and a 30 year worldwide search / Ian Wishart & George London.

"She was a former New Zealand fashion model and diplomat's wife. He was the British WW2 fighter ace-turned-criminal who seduced her. She attended garden parties with the Queen. He got her pregnant, then kidnapped her children. It's the case that made world headlines, that captured the attention of Sir Richard Branson, and which forced changes to child abduction laws in Britain. Paulette, now living in a small North Island town, hasn't seen her son and daughter since they were snatched off a London street thirty years ago at the ages of 4 and 2 and smuggled out of the UK. Now that's changed, thanks to an investigator's Kiwi ingenuity and the most audacious plan to catch a kidnapper ever hatched." --Back cover.
