Set towards the end of the 'Swinging Sixties, the setting for this gripping authentic fictional crime mystery is the North-West town of Monkston. A small town that has been effectively policed for 150 years by its dedicated local Police Force.In 1967 the town is rocked by the disappearance of a young teenage girl from the town centre. There are strong similarities with the disappearance of another teenage girl in 1959. She was found murdered in a local park and no-one was ever arrested. As a young constable in uniform Steve Miller was involved in the search for the her. Eight years later, as a Detective Sergeant in Monkston CID, known locally as 'The Jacks' Miller is leading the initial search for the missing teenager and wonders if history is repeating itself. This is a time before modern aids to criminal detection such as CCTV, Camera Phones and 24 hour rolling news. As Miller and his team painstakingly pursue their enquiries, they uncover other crimes, but find that they are being misled by the subterfuge of some who should be assisting in their investigation, not impeding it. As the investigation progresses, suspicion falls on the missing girl's father and even a serving detective comes under the microscope.If you enjoyed television dramas such as Broadchurch and Happy Valley, you will love this story.
