Publisher's Synopsis
England, 1976: A town somewhere in the East Midlands. An avenue within that town. The hottest summer that anyone can remember. Mrs Creasy has disappeared - vanished into thin air, even leaving her shoes behind. Her husband wanders the street, waiting for her to return, convinced that she will be home in time for their wedding anniversary. But ten-year-olds Grace and Tilly are determined to find her. As the summer shimmers endlessly on, doors and mouths begin to open, the cul-de-sac gives up its secrets - and the amateur detectives will learn more than they could ever have imagined...
