About this listen

Continue to discover the dark truths of Whitby's Forgotten Victims in this gripping new thriller by bestselling British crime author Wes Markin.

No soul is quiet, yet the cry of the forgotten soul is impossible to ignore.

When the sea yields a grim discovery on Whitby's coast, DCI Frank Black hears the haunting cry of Greg Lyle - a vulnerable 13-year-old boy fascinated by sea creatures, last seen walking his beloved dog, Buddy, twenty-six years ago.

Alongside his autistic companion, DI Gerry Carver, Frank pursues this cry through a labyrinth of shattered homes, hidden identities, and religious obsessions.

In Greg, Frank recognises Gerry's vulnerability. In Simon Lyle, he sees reflections of his own failings as a father.

As buried truths surface, Frank's resolve only strengthens.

He will answer the cry of this forgotten soul.

Even if it costs him his own.

Bestselling Wes Markin is back with the start of an exciting new series, perfect for fans of David Gatward, JD Kirk, Rachel McLean, JM Dalgliesh and Simon McCleave.

Good story well told and so exciting I was in tears at times. This deals with real emotions and is as compassionate as it it compelling

This is a cracking third book in the Forgotten Victim series. The first 2 were great but this one is the best yet in my opinion. Frank Black and his rag tag team investigate the discovery of a body in Whitby Harbour. Well written and edge of the seat listening. Aubrey once again produces a 5 star performance.

I love the way that Frank and Jerry's lives are exolored more and we get to see more of their personalities shining through. I find the way that each suspect is introduced is a really good format , and then as the story unfolds they all come together. it keeps you guessing till the end. and of course Aubrey never fails with the narration , he makes such good listening . am Hyde starting the 4th one and so worried this may be the last time I listen to Frank !

Another great storyline.

Absolutely love this series, how can you not love grumpy, old school copper Frank and straight to the point Gerry? In theory the contrast between these two characters shouldn't really work but with Wes Markin's outstanding writing it is a fantastic read (or listen in this case) and the listener is drawn in to a remarkable story which brings together the past and present with such feeling parts of it literally take your breath away and Aubrey Parsons is the perfect narrator for this series. Next instalment please Mr. Markin.
