When six year old Lizzie Turner went missing from her home, the occupants of the small town of Helperton were horrified. Everyone rallied round to help with the search, but despite their best efforts, they found no sign of her at all.

Detective Inspector David Jameson and Detective Sergeant Beverley Harper began to investigate, but initially they were frustratingly unsuccessful, and had no idea what had happened to young Lizzie.

Unfortunately this was not the only case that they had to investigate during this time, and when a man`s body was found near the river, just outside of Helperton, Dave and his team found their resources stretched to the limit.

The story continues, with many twists and turns along the way, until the thrilling and traumatic conclusion, which will leave the reader gasping in disbelief.
