Following his wife's betrayal and his own retirement from the force, Detective Inspector Elder has fled as far as it is possible to go in England without running out of land. But he is haunted by the past and in particular by the unsolved disappearance of sixteen-year-old Susan Blacklock back in 1988. Shane Donald and Alan McKeirnan, convicted just one year later for the brutal rape and murder of a young girl, remain the prime suspects in Elder's mind, and when he hears of Shane's early release from prison, he feels compelled to leave his safe haven and to revisit the scene of the crime. When Shane then break parole and disappears ant yet another young girl is hooribly murdered, Elder's involvement become crutial. McKeirnan seems to still wield a frightening power over his ex partner even from his prison cell, and the new murder bears all the hallmarks of Lucy Padmore's earlier death. An increasingly deperate Elder is already running out of time when his own daughter goes missing and a taunting postcard reveals that she is in the hands of the killer- Elder's worst nightmares are proving only too real....
