Book description
When fifteen-year-old Freya drowns, everyone assumes she's killed
herself, but no-one knows why. Her cousin, Jess Tennant, thinks she
was murdered - and is determined to uncover the truth. On a summer
visit to sleepy Port Sentinel, Jess (who bears a striking resemblance
to her dead cousin) starts asking questions - questions that provoke
strong reactions from her friends and family, not to mention Freya's enemies.
Everyone is hiding something - and Freya herself had more than her
fair share of secrets. Can Jess unravel the mystery of her cousin's
death? A mystery involving a silver locket, seething jealousy and a
cliff-top in the pitch black of night?
Born and brought up in Dublin, Jane Casey studied English at Jesus
College, Oxford, followed by an MPhil in Anglo-Irish Literature at
Trinity College, Dublin. She was working as a children's books editor
when her manuscript for her first book, The Missing, was
discovered on her agent's slush pile. She was signed-up by Ebury Press
shortly afterwards, and The Missing has since been published
around the world.
Jane is married to a criminal barrister and lives in south-west London.
