'An electrifying, breathless read' Woman's Own

Twenty-five years ago a little girl went missing. Now, it's happening all over againWhen five-year-old Elsie Button was snatched on the Welsh island of Anglesey, it sent shockwaves through the quiet community. A local man confessed to the crime and was imprisoned for life; his family fled in shame.

Kathryn has felt the loss of Elsie ever since: not only were they were best friends but she has to live with the guilt that her own father is to blame. There's only silence when she visits her dad in prison and asks, over and over, 'Where is she?'

When another girl is taken, twenty-five years to the day, Kathryn can't stay away. She'll join the search, atone for her father's sins, and maybe get the answers she needs. But not everyone wants the truth to come out

A gripping must-read psychological thriller from the #1 bestselling author Jenny Blackhurst. Unmissable for fans of K. L. Slater, C. L. Taylor and S. E. Lynes.
