Gripping historical mystery from the bestselling author of The
Stranger Diaries. 'Griffiths writes with a smart, sharp eye and
great elegance' Peter James Three girls have left. None have come
back. Brighton, 1963. Edgar Stephens has been promoted to
Superintendent and is married to his former sergeant, Emma Holmes.
Edgar's wartime partner in arms, magician Max Mephisto, is a movie
star in Hollywood, while his daughter Ruby has her own TV show. The
funeral of an old friend highlights just how much the gang's lives
have changed in the last nine years. Edgar is struggling with fresh
responsibilities and the new swinging Brighton of rioting mods and
rockers; Emma is chafing against the restrictions of life as a
housewife. Bob Willis, meanwhile, is tackling his biggest case
since his promotion to DI: a schoolgirl missing from high-class
boarding school Roedean. It looks like she's run away; but there
are disturbing similarities to the disappearances of a young local
nurse and a tearaway Modette, neither of whom have been seen or
heard from since... A new world is dawning in Brighton, but the
city's dark side is as dangerous as ever. 'A piquant mixture of
humour, period detail . . . and truly beguiling characterisation'
