Why has Billy Wheatley become a favorite character for thousands of readers?

Eleven-year-old Billy lives a lonely life with his father in a windswept clifftop house.

Until a tourist girl vanishes from the beach below. A huge police search takes over the island, but fails to uncover what happened.

And Billy can’t resist getting involved.

He’s a little young to play detective, but he’s smart, and he knows every inch of the empty sands and rocky coves around his home.

Oh yeah – and he was there that night.

His style of investigation is unlike anything you’ve read before, but it sort of works… until the trail of clues all point in one ominous direction. Billy is forced to confront a terrifying possibility – that the killer he seeks could be his own father.

But if his dad really is a child-murderer, then what will he do when he learns Billy has discovered the truth?
