Missing Boys — Angela Marsons

Two missing boys. No clues. And time running out to save them… 

 

Twelve-year-old Lewis Stevens disappeared from a seafront arcade. Eleven-year-old Noah Reid vanished from the pier stretching out over the beach. 

 

Detective Kim Stone doesn't play well with others… but as the investigation into the missing children stalls, she is sent halfway across the country to join the hunt. When she knocks on the door of Lewis's house, she's expecting to meet a desperate, hopeful mother, and to promise she'll do everything in her power to bring Lewis home. 

 

Instead she finds a woman who won't meet her eyes, who insists her son ran away. What is she hiding, and why is she so frightened? Faced with a hostile local team, few clues, and a refusal to believe the kidnappings are linked, Kim must draw on all her determination and skill to solve the case. 

 

And when another boy turns up dead back home, his body bruised and broken, Kim learns that the killers she's hunting are worse than she could have ever imagined. She and the team must track them down before more children are taken. But the closer they get, the greater the danger �" and they cannot trust a single soul… 

 

A completely gripping page-turning crime thriller from no.1 multi-million-copy bestseller Angela Marsons. Perfect for fans of Val McDermid, Karin Slaughter and Robert Dugoni. 

 

Can be read as a standalone.
