Missing, Presumed

'It hits the sweet spot between literary and crime fiction - Gripping' ERIN KELLY 'For those who love their crime fiction rich in psychology beautifully written and laced with dark humour. Dive in' LUCIE WHITEHOUSE 'DS Manon Bradshaw is a messed-up big-hearted detective in the best tradition' HARRIET LANE Mid-December and Cambridgeshire is blanketed with snow. Detective Sergeant Manon Bradshaw tries to sleep after yet another soul-destroying Internet date - the low murmuring of her police radio her only solace. Over the airwaves come reports of a missing woman - door ajar keys and phone left behind a spatter of blood on the kitchen floor. Manon knows the first 72 hours are critical: you find her or you look for a body. And as soon as she sees a picture of Edith Hind a Cambridge post-graduate from a well-connected family she knows this case will be big. Is Edith alive or dead? Was her 'complex love life' at the heart of her disappearance as a senior officer tells the increasingly hungry press? And when a body is found is it the end or only the beginning?
