Twenty years ago a number of young boys disappeared and their bodies were found in white sheets, in shallow graves not far from where they were taken.  However, when Zachary Marshall disappeared, he was never found, dead or alive.  His mother, Diane believes convicted serial child killer, Jonathan Egan-Walsh took Zachary and begged by letter to reveal where he was buried.  Jonathan never spoke of his crimes, but when he died, he left a letter for Diane admitting his crimes, but that he never took Zachary.  Diane tries to get the police to reinvestigate the case, but they don’t see enough evidence to warrant it.  Diane seeks help from a novelist and ex-Dectective from the original case to look at the case with fresh eyes.
Another masterpiece by Michael Wood.  A gripping standalone.  You really felt emerged in Diane’s world and wanted her to find Zachary and the truth what happened that fateful day.  5 stars!!
