Now in A Format A retired copper's son is kidnapped. Many of the villains he put away had sworn revenge. So why doesn't he mention the one who is still the main suspect in a four-year-old murder? Luke Mullen, sixteen-year-old son of a former high-ranking police officer, has disappeared, presumed kidnapped. While no-one quite dares to voice the fear that he could also be presumed dead, Detective Inspector Tom Thorne is brought in to beef up the squad dedicated to locating the missing boy. The first thing the team looks for is anyone with a grudge against Luke's father, a man who has put a lot of tough villains away in his time. A list quickly emerges, but Thorne discovers that ex-DCI Tony Mullen has omitted the name of the most obvious suspect: a man who'd once threatened him and his family and who, after serving time for his original crime, is now the main suspect in a murder which has been unsolved for four years. Well aware that he is working against the clock with this case, Thorne searches desperately for connections and leads, but learns that secrets are as easily buried as as bodies, and that assumptions are the enemies of truth.
