About this listen

Early on a cold Somerset morning, ten year old Alesha Daniels is reported missing by her father, a violent alcoholic. Her mother, a known drug addict, is found unconscious, but it’s her mother’s boyfriend the police are keen to trace.

As the hunt for Alesha gathers pace, a second local girl is taken, plunging another family into the depths of despair.

Cutting short his holiday, DI Nick Dixon races home to join the Major Investigation Team, but no sooner has he identified a network of local suspects than they begin to show up dead.

At odds with his superiors, Dixon is convinced the child abductions are anything but random, but nobody is prepared for the investigation to lead quite so close to home.

Can Dixon and his team crack the case before all the suspects are silenced? And will he find the missing girls before it’s too late?

Great series

These stories are pretty good! -- very well plotted and suspenseful, and excellently read. This one seemed quite fresh and different.

DI Dixon is a compelling character. The rest of the force get nowhere while he singlehandedly solves the case. That contrast between his brilliance and the other useless, angry idiots is a bit over done but it's enjoyable to see him triumph.

Jane gets to tag along and do a few useful things in this one. There is enough of their personal life -- any more would be too much. The strength of this series lies in the plot and police procedural aspects. Top quality mystery!
