The Lost Child

DI Lottie Parker and DS Mark Boyd are at the scene of a brutal murder, but the victim isn’t who they thought it would be.  Late the following day, the daughter of the victim is discovered at the hospital with serious head injuries and her tongue removed. 

A cottage fire results in one man dead and another in serious condition.  There is a smell of cannibis Could it be connected to the murder?  It turns out that one of the victims of the fire is the boyfriend of the granddaughter of the murder victim.  And now she has gone missing.

When quantities of heroin are found in the boyfriend’s home, Parker’s superintendent calls in the national drug unit.  Parker now has limited time to find the missing girl and solve her murder case.

How many more deaths will happen before they can solve the case.  Is it all drug related or is there more to it than meets the eye?  Author Patricia Gibney cooks up a fine mess in this murder mystery, complete with a shocking twist at the end.  A thoroughly enjoyable read, which I could not put down!
