Description by Author:
It was 1993 when Andy last saw his sister,
Willow, one minute he was holding her hand, and the next she was gone.
Thirty years later, Andy has a family of his
own, but he’s never forgotten his little sister.
How could he?
Her disappearance destroyed his family and
ended his childhood, and with all the leads dried up and no new clues he’s had
to accept that she’s gone forever. That’s until he’s contacted by a woman who
claims to have a message for him from Willow, sceptical, but unable to resist
trying anything Andy meets up with her.
Cleo knows things that were never made public
at the time, and Andy starts to think that just maybe, she really is in contact
with Willow.
When one of his childhood adversaries is
found murdered Andy turns to the police officer in charge of the investigation
at the time for help.
DCI Unwin Phelps had reluctantly retired with
Willow being his only cold, unsolved case. Offered the opportunity to finally
find out what happened to her he agrees to get involved. Working with Cleo and
Andy they don’t realise the danger they're in.
Is Willow back and seeking revenge?
If so, is she dead or alive, and why are
those involved in the case being picked off, one by one?
Andy will have to dig deep into a dark past
he’d rather forget for the answers, but will finding out break him and those he
loves?
