DCI Simon Serrailler and DS Nathan Coates have been called out to
investigate a missing child. A young lad was snatched while he was
waiting for his ride to school. The thing is, the police don’t know
that for sure.
Several days later Serrailler’s handicapped sister passes away. Later
that same day, his other sister gave birth to a son. With all that’s
going on, Serrailler is in a mix of emotions. Unable to sleep,
Serrailler goes for a drive and spots a car that was observed in the
area where the boy was snatched. He follows it and, with backup
apprehends the driver. A few minutes later, someone comes along to pick
up the car. Serrailler is injured while trying to stop the new
suspects.
Later the father of the missing child commits suicide, and a day later
the body of a child is found. Is it the boy? And what’s the connection
to the suicide?
Author Susan Hill has plenty of troubling times ahead for Serrailler and
his team as they continue the investigation. Hill works Serrailler’s
personal life into the story and how each affects the other. A good,
quick read.
