![]() ![]() ![]() Then a witness comes forwards to say that he saw a young boy walking down the road near the woods with a man and then getting into a car with him. ![]() ![]() Josh is safe, but no one knows what has happened to Kieron. Despite an extensive search, there’s no trace of Kieron.Ĭat, the boy’s mother, is distraught and can’t help resenting the fact that her best friend still has her son. All young Josh can say is that they were playing hide and seek. She only takes her eyes off her son for a few minutes, but it’s enough. Then seven-year-old Kieron Coyne goes missing while playing with his best friend in the woods next to the park where his mother is chatting to a friend of hers. He still gets veiled digs from colleagues but has learned to live with it. Tom Thorne is a detective sergeant who’s never quite been able to move on from a case where he ignore his gut instinct about a suspect with devastating results. So when the chance came to meet a younger, less experienced Thorne, I dived into this prequel with both feet and high hopes. And I do intend, at some point, to catch up with the earlier books in the series. I came late to the series in 2012, but since then, his books have always made it onto my to be read pile, apart from when I chickened out of The Killing Habit, based on the real-life case of the Croydon cat killer. Tom Thorne made his first appearance in Sleepyhead, 20 years ago. ![]()
