‘I love a Kate Marshall thriller and this one’s a belter — perfectly plotted, completely absorbing.'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jen Med’s Book Reviews

When schoolgirl Janey Macklin vanished from London’s shadowy backstreets in 1988, her case went cold '' no body, no witnesses, no answers.

Thirty years later, private investigator
Kate Marshall is approached by a true crime podcast producer with a chilling question: What if Janey was one of the victims of Peter Conway — the infamous Nine Elms Cannibal?

It’s the most lucrative job Kate’s ever been offered. But reopening the case means reopening old wounds — and confronting a dark past the tabloids won’t let her forget.

As Kate and her partner, Tristan, scour King’s Cross for clues, no two leads seem to point in the same direction.
The last person to see Janey alive has already been tried, convicted, and then acquitted of her murder, Peter Conway is in poor health and fading fast, and the line between their clients and their suspects is blurring with each new revelation about the case.

With little to work from, can Tristan and Kate wade through clandestine phone calls, decades-old secrets, and deteriorating DNA evidence to solve Janey’s murder,
or will she remain one of London’s countless missing persons, forever lost to time?

The Lost Victim is a heart-stopping thriller from global million-copy bestseller Robert Bryndzaperfect for fans of dark secrets, cold cases, and characters who never stop fighting for the truth.
