Summary

Little Marcus Fallbrook was kidnapped in 1976 and, when he never returned home, his grieving family assumed the worst. Now, 30 years later, teenager Leah Wakefield has disappeared and DI Wesley Peterson has reason to suspect that the same kidnapper is responsible.

As Wesley delves into the case, his friend, archaeologist Neil Watson, discovers a mystery of his own when he exhumes the dead from a local churchyard. A coffin is found containing one corpse too many and Neil believes it may be linked to a strange religious sect.

Then, in a shocking twist, Marcus Fallbrook returns. His recollection of his past kidnapping is hazy, but Wesley hopes that, as Marcus begins to recover memories, it will lead them to a sinister criminal. But he is about to discover that the past can be a very dangerous place indeed.

Same pattern as others . Comfort listening

The book follows a predictable pattern that I find comforting for ‘candy floss’ listening. There are repeated sentences or in one case a sentence read incorrectly then corrected. This is a production error rather than narrative.
