A missing girl. A disturbing secret. A race against time.
When 14-year-old Holly Jardine disappears on the way home from school, the first question is did she run away or was she abducted? DCI Jones can’t be sure but instinct and experience tell him he needs to act quickly. Every minute counts in a case like this. Can he find Holly before time runs out?
When Jones discovers entries in Holly’s diary describing a mysterious older man known only as ‘E’, he fears the worst. This solitary initial is all Jones has to go on but he’ll do whatever it takes to identify the man behind it and bring Holly home to her parents. He knows first-hand the pain of losing a child.
At first it seems like an impossible task. But a search into local sex offenders sparks a sinister trail that leads Jones and his colleague Alexandra Olganski all the way to Brittany where they make a discovery more disturbing than they could ever have anticipated...
