A MISSING GIRL. AN ICE COLD KILLER.


'ONE OF THE BEST THRILLER WRITERS WORKING TODAY' LEE CHILD

_________

It's been eleven years since Claire Flynn disappeared - abducted without a trace from a snowy hillside.

Investigator Darby McCormick remembers the case. She knows there's only ever been one suspect, Father Richard Byrne, linked inconclusively to two similar disappearances.

Finally, now terminally ill, Byrne is willing to talk. But he'll only talk to Darby.

She expecting a confession . . .

But what she hears is far more disturbing.

And it soon becomes clear that someone is willing to kill to keep this case cold . . .

Fans of Karin Slaughter, James Patterson and Val McDermid will love this gripping thriller from bestselling author Chris Mooney.
