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

Every day bestselling investigative journalist Emma Hunter fails to solve the string of abductions corroding the south coast of England could end with another child's grave.

Two decades of searching...

After a brutal shooting in Leicestershire pulls the rug from beneath her meticulously crafted research, the local police in the small Midlands town tell her the suspect wants to speak to her.

One second of shattering realisation...

But when Emma arrives on the scene there's no sign of the suspect. Instead the police start questioning her. Because the woman they're holding in their cells is not who she seems. She's not remotely who she seems.

The sixth instalment in The Missing Children Case Files concludes this unmissable crime saga about what happens when those charged with protecting us betray us - perfect for fans of Jeffery Deaver and Dreda Say Mitchell.
