About this listen

A child's body in an unmarked grave. A killer waiting to strike again.

A young boy's body is found in a meadow beside the River Mersey. No DNA. No witnesses. No clues. It brings back painful memories of the Moors Murderers.

After two weeks, the police have made no progress finding the killer. The one thing they do know; he will kill again. It is a race against time – and they are losing.

DI Thomas Ridpath has just returned to work. Diagnosed with PTSD and undergoing supervised psychological therapy, he is dragged into the case against his better judgement. When another child is kidnapped, Ridpath must confront his own demons to stop a killer before he strikes again.

A nail-biting thriller that takes the Ridpath novels to new heights, this is perfect for readers of Peter James and Damien Boyd.

I was really sad when I finished this book as it meant I’d finished the series
The story was very plausible & as always the narrator was superb

Excellent

I am, admittedly, a huge fan of this series and as such, may be a little biased but I have to say that this book is outstanding, Ridpath is back to work after his wife's death and he's thrown straight in at the deep end.

The story is a sad one but is woven as well as every other Ridpath title, with sensitivity and great detail, I think it may be the best yet.

In short, buy it, it's great.
