Sinister

The first young girl was little Alice Courier, snatched from the day nursery in the presence of seventeen other children and three staff members. Not one of them saw it happen. Chief Inspector Emily Joseph and Detective Luke Allen couldn't work out how it was done. Alice's body was discovered later inside a wood. The discovery shocked the most hardened of police officers when they learnt she had been eaten alive.Isabella Dukes was the second young girl, taken from her bedroom inside her house, the doors and windows locked from the inside. The third, Fionora Day was taken in the street while she was holding her mother's hand.For Chief Inspector Emily Joseph, it became the strangest, most gruesome case she had ever worked on. How these girls were being taken wasn't humanly possible. But if she accepted that, then what took them couldn't be human. And if it wasn't human, what in God's name was it?
