Missing Boy

A missing child. A killer on the loose. A past that refuses to die.

Six-year-old Lucas Jackson is so excited to be at the funfair that evening — it’s the perfect birthday treat. He races up the steps of the inflatable slide, waving happily to his mother and sister . . . and vanishes into thin air.

The case is too close to home for Detective Nicki Hardcastle.

Her little brother Dean disappeared in uncannily similar circumstances when she was just ten. Nicki had only taken her eyes off him for a moment, to pay for a stick of candyfloss. She’s lived with the guilt ever since.

Now Nicki and her team are in a race against time to find the missing boy. Where is Lucas?

Nicki questions those closest to him, but it’s clear the Jackson family are keeping secrets. There’s something Lucas’s mother and sister aren’t telling her.

Then Nicki makes a startling discovery. Could there be a connection to her own brother’s disappearance all those years ago?

The past that Nicki thought buried forever is about to catch up with her.
