Mystery | Suspense
The deepest secrets are the ones we keep from ourselves in
this richly atmospheric, compellingly written, and expertly
constructed crime debut from an emerging talent. Derbyshire, 1978: a small town in the idyllic English
countryside is traumatized by the kidnapping of two young
schoolgirls, Rachel Jones and Sophie Jenkins. Within hours,
Rachel is found wandering alone near the roadside, unharmed
yet unable to remember anything, except that her abductor
was a woman. No trace of Sophie is ever discovered. Present day: over thirty years later, Sophie's mother
commits suicide. Detective inspector Francis Sadler and
detective constable Connie Childs are assigned to look at
the kidnapping again to see if modern police methods can
discover something that the original team missed. Rachel,
with the help of her formidable mother and grandmother,
recovered from the kidnapping and has become a family
genealogist. She wants nothing more than to continue living
quietly beneath the radar, but the discovery of the
strangled body of one of her former teachers days after the
suicide brings the national media back to her doorstep.
Desperate to stop a modern killer from striking again,
Rachel and the police must unpick the clues to uncover what
really happened all those years ago as the past threatens to
engulf the present.
