A truly great mystery and an intense read!
From the back cover:
"On a freezing day in 1963, thirteen year old Alison Carter vanishes from her village. Newly-promoted Inspector George Bennett is determined to solve the case--even if it is to bring Alison's body home to her mother. As days progress, the likelihood that Alison has been murdered increases when a gruesome discovery is made in a cave. Bennett finds himself up against a stone wall--until he learns the shocking truth...Decades later, Bennett finally tells his story to journalist Catherine Heathcote. But, just when the book is poised for publication, he pulls the plug without explanation. Catherine sets out to uncover what really happened to Alison Carter. But the secret is one she might wish she'd left buried on that cold, dark day thirty-five years ago."
