Description
Another classic mystery from the master of the clever twist.
On a summers day in 1981, a two-year-old girl, Tamsin Hall, was abducted during a picnic at the famous prehistoric site of Avebury in Wiltshire. Her seven-year-old sister Miranda was knocked down and killed by the abductors van. The girls were in the care of their nanny, Sally Wilkinson.
In the spring of 2004, retired Chief Inspector George Sharp receives a letter signed Junius reproaching him for botching the 1981 investigation. Sharp confronts Umber, whose explanation for being at the scene of the tragedy has always seemed dubious. Obliged to accept Umber’s denial of authorship of the letter, he nonetheless forces him to join in a search for the real culprit. It is a quest that both will later regret having embarked upon. Too late they come to understand that some mysteries are better left unsolved.
