Death Ride
An unwelcome face from the past at a local fair leads Henry Christie on a white-knuckled race against time to find a missing girl.
On the third day of the Kendleton Country Fair in Lancashire, thirteen-year-old Charlotte Kirkham goes missing. Retired detective superintendent Henry Christie is there as a volunteer steward, but Charlotte's sudden disappearance isn't the only thing troubling him. The man with the burger van looks familiar . . . for all the wrong reasons.
Leonard Lennox was jailed for twelve years for abducting a young girl. Henry rescued her, unharmed, and helped put Leonard behind bars. Now he's out, with his own criminal outfit, old scores to settle, and a son who was last seen talking to Charlotte at the fair. Is history about to repeat itself? Henry is soon drawn into another hair-raising, pulse-pounding race against time, and the stakes couldn't be higher . . .
