A missing-girl investigation collides with buried evidence

The fourth Missing Children Case Files novel places investigative journalist Emma Hunter between a new disappearance on the Dorset coast and evidence recovered from the remains of a Berkshire trafficking den. The case recalls a crime from two decades earlier, while a call from police archivist Jack and a message from the killers suggest that past investigations remain dangerously unfinished. With graves, concealed identities and the fate of missing children central to its setup, Discarded builds its mystery around the consequences of hidden crimes and eroded empathy.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adult crime-fiction readers who follow investigative journalist protagonists
  • Readers interested in missing-person cases and cold-case connections
  • Fans of mystery series involving police records and long-buried evidence

The Missing Children Case Files: Case 4

'Mind-blowingly addictive!' Samantha Lee Howe, USA Today-bestselling author of The Stranger in Our Bed

Where better to hide a body than in someone else's grave?

When a girl goes missing from the shores of Dorset in a crime eerily similar to one two decades earlier, her parents enlist investigative journalist and bestselling author Emma Hunter to find her.

Where better to bury the truth than in someone else's lie?

But then police archivist Jack calls her saying they've found a suitcase of bones beneath the ash of the trafficking den burned down in Berkshire eight months ago.

When monsters rise the children are the first to die...

As Emma contends with the question of whether her worst fear has finally been realised, her agent summons her to London. She's been sent a message from the killers. A warning.

The fourth nerve-shredding chapter in The Missing Children Case Files is an unmissable crime thriller exploring what happens when the truths that make us human are discarded and empathy rots into evil - perfect for fans of J M Dalgliesh and Michael Connelly.
