A dark cloud casts a long shadow in this thriller from the bestselling DI Bob Willis series.

It is 1986. Assigned to a new Cold Case Unit, retired Detective Inspector Mungo ‘Bob’ Willis has reopened the investigation into the 1962 disappearance of a nine-year-old boy. Paul Bromfield was snatched from one of the last steam trains from Evercreech Junction to Burnham-on-Sea and later found dead in an abandoned bunker.

A day at the seaside turned to tragedy. And a child’s name everyone remembers.

The killer has been watching—waiting for this moment. When another child vanishes and chilling messages begin to arrive, Bob finds himself caught in a dangerous game. With time running out, he must decipher clues that have been hidden in plain sight for decades; clues that point to the lasting fallout of a forgotten nightmare.

The truth is still out there. And it’s not finished with him yet.

A superb story written without superfluous detail or irrelevant storyline distractions to pad it out. The style of writing was sufficient in detail to paint an excellent picture of the scenes. The style I like very much.
The story was riveting to the very last line with no rushed ending.
The narration was also excellent. I managed to listen to this, without dosing off in two sessions it was so gripping.
Thank you Mr. Boyd.
