Adam Turner is a successful investigative journalist who
specializes in finding lost children. But he is not happy. As yet
another relationship fails to thrive, and Adam is forced to
confront himself, he comes to realize that his pattern of behaviour
was set far back in the past, when he failed to intervene on behalf
of a girl he believed to be in danger. On the surface, his
childhood in the Lake District was idyllic. At a deeper level, it
was stained by violence and envy. Circumstances require him to
return to the village where he grew up. Once there, Adam cannot
avoid unravelling the mystery which has haunted him for so long. In
the process, treacherous secrets are brought to light, as well as
the body of a murdered gypsy girl. This competent thriller has a
good plot line. The protagonist is a pleasant fellow and the murder
itself is not given detailed attention. What intrigues Adam, and by
extension the reader, is the uncovering of layers of motive:
finally, Adam's reconstruction of the deadly game reveals each
character in his or her proper position. This is not great
detective fiction but it is sufficiently entertaining to be read
with some pleasure. (Kirkus UK)
