Book description
Jenny Shepherd is twelve years old and missing...
Her teacher, Sarah Finch, knows better than most that the chances of
finding her alive are diminishing with every day she is gone.
As a little girl her older brother had gone out to play one day and
never returned. The strain of never knowing what has happened to
Charlie had ripped Sarah's family apart. Now in her early twenties,
she is back living at home, trapped with a mother who drinks too much
and keeps her brother's bedroom as a shrine to his memory.
Then, horrifically, it is Sarah who finds Jenny's body, beaten and
abandoned in the woods near her home. As she's drawn into the police
investigation and the heart of a media storm, Sarah's presence arouses
suspicion too. But it not just the police who are watching her...
