Without a Trace — Malcolm Forsythe

Eight-year-old Maisie Brown disappeared during Tanniford's annual fete and Chief Inspector Millson suspected Maisie's stepfather. The local police had closed the only road out of the village while the fete was on and no vehicle left the village between two o'clock and six that day. This convinced Millson that Maisie had been abducted in the village and was still there - dead or alive.
