Retired Detective Inspector Frank Elder has fled the Cornish coast, but he can't escape the past. Susan Blacklock would be thirty now. But 14 years ago she disappeared, and the case has gone unsolved. Now, with one of the suspects out on parole, pretty Emma Harrison has gone missing. With cryptic messages and a few planted clues, the killer is drawing Elder into the very heart of the matter.

Excellent and entertaining debut in the Frank Elder series. I'm ordering the second entry shortly. I quite like the way the author writes and the setting is a big plus for me. Highly recommend.
