A good convoluted West Country tale starring the black detective Wesley Peterson of her previous titles and mixing ancient and modern crimes together as is her norm. There is lots going on, lots of strands, lots of intrigue, lots to keep you hooked. I love her.
Little Marcus Fallbrook was kidnapped in 1976, and when he never returned home his grieving family assumed the worst - 30 years later, teenage singing sensation Leah Wakefield has suffered the same fate. DI Peterson must figure out whether the same kidnapper is responsible, but the plot deepens when Marcus suddenly reappears.
