Invierno de 1963, dos adolescentes desaparecen en Manchester. En diciembre de ese mismo año, en una aldea perdida de Derbyshire, desaparece Alison Carter, trece años. Para el inspector George Bennet, es el principio de un caso teriblemente angustioso: un crimen sin cadáveres, secretos muy bien guardados por personajes inpenetrables. Cuando décadas después, el inspector Bennet decide contar la historia a la escritora Catherine Heathcote, lo hace convencido de que determinadas historias deben recordarse. sin embargo, cuendo el libro está terminado, es el mismo Bennet quien presiona a Heathcote para que no siga adelante. Acaba de recibir una información que pone en peligro su existencia.

Work Description
Essentially a police procedural, this book poses serious questions about habeas corpus in a murder trial where the death penalty is exacted. Brilliantly conceived and written, the plot itself is not as impressive as the characters who people the narrative. Set in two time periods, the '60s and the '90's, the terrifying twist at the end is worthy of anything the Greeks dreamt up in their nightmares.
