Publisher's Synopsis
"A lonely woman of 53 vanishes while out on her morning run--hidden in her cupboard is an expensive pair of cuff-links with a note: 'To You, with all possible love from your devoted, Me'. A 22-year-old girl never returns from an early morning walk. An old man disappears too. Experienced policemen know that most missing persons either turn up or go missing on purpose. But fresh young policewoman Freya Graffham is assigned to the case. She's new to the job, compassionate, dedicated, and inquisitive--maybe too inquisitive. What, she wonders, could possibly link the people who disappear on "The Hill," young and old, men and women, even a little dog? Freya and the enigmatic detective Chief Inspector Simon Serrallier have the task of unraveling the mystery behind this increasingly gruesome. sequence of events."--Page 4 of cover.
