About this listen

An unputdownable gripping Scottish Detective Mystery

A missing schoolgirl. A tormented cop. A family mystery.

Meet PC Craig Hunter of Edinburgh's Local Policing Unit. Ex-Army. Ex-CID. Back in uniform.

A straightforward domestic call out twists out of control when 16-year-old schoolgirl Stephanie Ferguson alleges her stepfather, Doug Ferguson, has been abusing her. Hunter is soon working with DS Chantal Jain of Police Scotland’s Sexual Offences Unit to kick off the prosecution. But before a full statement can be taken, Stephanie disappears from hospital.

Now, Hunter must hunt the girl down before anyone else can. Where has Stephanie gone? Did she run? Or did someone take her? Will he get to the truth before it gets beaten into lies? Or before Stephanie is silenced for good…? And why does this case keep throwing up old enemies from Hunter’s past?

THE MISSING is a fast-paced police procedural, full of action and suspense that will grip you until its breathless conclusion.

Perfect combination of author and narrator. Kept guessing throughout and that's rare for me. Can't wait for the next one.
