About this ebook

From the New York Times bestselling author of Girl A, a revealing and gorgeous novel in the tradition of Long Bright River, in which the consequences of a child's disappearance ripple across a sleepy countryside town and echo across decades.

A boy is missing. His whole family is lost.

1970. Cambridge, England. On a cold January morning, Audrey Knight wakes to find her five year old son, Robin, is missing from his bed. A young Police Constable arrives on the scene, keen to better the male detectives and prove her worth. Across the meadows, a teenage boy is watching, desperate to help the family he's admired from afar. And Robin's older sisters each harbor secrets about how they spent the night.

Robin's disappearance will change each of their lives forever. But the mystery is one that will take fifty years to solve, and its answer might destroy everything they hold dear.
