Perfect for you if...

You love police procedurals with real investigative depth and aren't afraid of slow-burn tension that builds over decades.
You enjoy British crime fiction set in specific time periods (this one's firmly in the 1980s) with authentic procedural details.
You're drawn to cases where the past refuses to stay buried and old crimes demand fresh eyes.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced thrillers that move between scenes every few pages rather than methodical detective work.
You want your crime fiction set in the present day with modern technology rather than period pieces.
You're uncomfortable with storylines involving harm to children, even when handled with restraint.

About this book

In 1986, retired Detective Inspector Mungo 'Bob' Willis is assigned to a new Cold Case Unit and reopens the investigation into the 1962 disappearance of nine-year-old Paul Bromfield. The boy was taken from a steam train traveling from Evercreech Junction to Burnham-on-Sea and was later found dead in an abandoned bunker. When another child goes missing and Bob receives chilling messages, he realizes the killer has been watching and waiting. As time runs out, Bob must uncover clues that have remained hidden for decades—clues connected to the lasting consequences of the forgotten case. He becomes caught in a dangerous game where the truth of what happened remains unresolved.
