VOICES IN THE DARKNESS

A teenage girl is missing. Eleanor Rawlins is an unworldly loner, who would rather be climbing than fingering a smart phone.

A teacher is found dead in the woods. Is it suicide or murder? It’s too late for DI Irene Nicholson’s retirement is due. But she can’t let go.

She revives her old partnership with ex-DI Fletcher to uncertainly follow the flimsiest of tenuous clues, driven only by their sceptical curiosity and the haunting premonition of another teenager.

I’ve seen it… there are big hills on either side. It’s cold. Blue sky. Eagles floating high up. There’s a lake. The wind is blowing. The girl is walking towards you. She’s not well… something terrible has happened… her eyes are…

Terrible crimes were committed in the 1980s… by people in positions of trust and authority. How much longer can they be kept secret?
