Hope to Die

THE FIRST GIRL CAME BACK …

THE NEXT MIGHT NOT BE SO LUCKY.

A girl is taken from the streets of Oxford.

But it’s unlike any abduction DI Fawley’s seen before …

Faith Appleford was attacked, a plastic bag tied over her head, taken to an isolated location … and then, by some miracle, she escaped. What’s more, when DC Erica Somer interviews Faith, she quickly becomes convinced that Faith knows who her abductor is.

Yet Faith refuses to press charges.

Without more evidence, it’s looking like the police may have to drop the case.

Faith’s attacker is still out there. Will they strike again?

HOW CAN A CHILD GO MISSING WITHOUT A TRACE?

Last night, eight-year-old Daisy Mason disappeared from a family party. No one in the quiet suburban street saw anything – or at least that’s what they’re saying.

DI Adam Fawley is trying to keep an open mind. But he knows that, nine times out of ten, it’s someone the victim knew.

That means someone is lying …

And that Daisy’s time is running out.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT’S HIDING IN THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR?

A woman and child are found locked in a basement room, barely alive.

No one knows who they are – the woman can’t speak, and there are no missing persons reports that match their profile. The elderly man who owns the house claims he has never seen them before.

The inhabitants of the quiet Oxford street are in shock. How could this happen right under their noses? But DI Adam Fawley knows that nothing is impossible.

No one is as inncocent as they seem …

WHAT IF SOMEONE WANTED YOUR FAMILY DEAD?

It’s one of the most disturbing cases DI Fawley has ever worked.

The Christmas holidays, and two children have just been pulled from the wreckage of their burning home in North Oxford. The toddler is dead, and his brother is soon fighting for his life.

Why were they left in the house alone? Where is their mother, and why is their father not answering his phone?

Then new evidence is discovered, and DI Fawley’s worst nightmare comes true.

Because this fire wasn’t an accident. It was murder.

And the killer is still out there …
