From the bestselling author of the DCI Matilda Darke series comes a standalone thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page
Dark, twisting and captivating. The very essence of the just-one-more-page thriller Will CarverWood gets better with every book. I couldnt let go of this tragedy of loss and deception from the moment I picked it up Alex Marwood, author of The Island of Lost Girls
***
On a cold February afternoon in 1990, seven-year-old Danny Redpath disappeared from his home. Four months later, his body was found in the nearby forest, wrapped in a sheet and washed clean of all evidence.
Apprehended while attempting to abduct another child, Jonathan Egan-Walsh was charged with the murders of more than a dozen boys. Convicted on all counts, he received life in prison and went unrepentant, still refusing to reveal the whereabouts of one of his victims, Zachery Marshall.
Twenty-five years later, Zacherys mother Diane is still searching for his body. When Jonathan dies in custody, she realises she will never know its location until she receives a letter he left in his cell, in which he admits he was guilty of all the crimes of which he was accused, except the murder of her son
