And when you dig up the past, you're sure to find a few skeletons.

Suddenly Fawley's team are under more scrutiny than ever before. When the police discover a connection to a high-profile case from years ago, involving a child's murder and an alleged miscarriage of justice, the press go wild. Soon DI Fawley and his team are up against the clock to figure out the truth. Because this time, the predator is a woman and the shining star of the department, and the student a six-foot male rugby player. When an Oxford student accuses one of the university's professors of sexual assault, DI Adam Fawley's team think they've heard it all before. She has everything at stake he has everything to lose. And that no one is as innocent as they seem. How could this happen right under their noses? But DI Adam Fawley knows that nothing is impossible. The inhabitants of the quiet Oxford street are in shock. The elderly man who owns the house claims he has never seen them before. No one knows who they are - the woman can't speak and there are no missing persons reports that match their profile. And that Daisy's time is running out.Ī woman and child are found locked in a basement room barely alive. But he knows the nine times out of ten it's someone the victim knew. DI Adam Fawley is trying to keep an open mind. No one in the quiet suburban street saw anything - or at least that's what they're saying. HOW CAN A CHILD GO MISSING WITHOUT A TRACE? Last night eight-year-old Daisy Mason disappeared from a family party. 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. The toddler is dead and his brother is soon fighting for his life. The Christmas holidays and two children have just been pulled from the wreckage of their burning home in North Oxford.

It's one of the most disturbing cases DI Fawley has ever worked. Because if he ignores the past any longer this girl may not be coming back. But when another girl goes missing Fawley knows his time is running out. All he can do is try to ignore the sickening feeling he's seen something like this before. DI Adam Fawley is doing the best he can to investigate but the teenager refuses to press charges. The story she tells is terrifying: grabbed off the street a plastic bag forced over her head then driven somewhere remote and subjected to an assault. Does it? A distressed teenage girl is found on the outskirts of Oxford. Cara Hunter DI Fawley Series 6 Books Collection Set
