Henry Parker is back in this third thriller from Jason Pinter. Henry is sent on an exclusive assignment to interview a child, Daniel, who has mysteriously returned to his family after he has been missing for five years. However, Daniel can’t remember what has happened in those intervening years and soon Henry finds Daniel is not the only child this has happened to.
Pinter’s novels steam long with great pace and Parker, as the slightly naïve but enthusiastic investigative journalist, makes a great protagonist.
Five years ago, six-year-old Daniel Linwood vanished without a trace. Today he came back. It's a blessing for both Daniel's family and their community.
And I've got the exclusive interview. But it turns out he's just one of a string of abducted children who have mysteriously returned to their families - with no memory of their lost years. To get the story, I need the help of the one woman who owes me nothing - and I've got to find answers before more lives are snatched away.
Jason Pinter clearly knows a thing or two about what makes a good book - having worked in the editorial departments of major New York publishing houses. All that expertise is clear to see in The Mark - his stunning debut novel.
