Ray Eke has always found peace in his job, collecting litter for the city council. Until the day he finds the brutalized, bloodless body of a girl on his round. He recognizes her immediately too. Lauren Pascoe went missing three years before.
It's also clear she hasn't been lying on the roadside verge all this time. Someone's clearly been holding her prisoner. Keeping her as their very special toy.
The police know it couldn't have been Ray, whose gentle heart is obvious to all. But then another girl is taken. And she's someone who Ray had a connection to, back in his previous job as an accountant, before his breakdown...
The twists in this novel are guaranteed to leave readers with their jaws on the floor. Just when you think you know who the killer is, you'll have your mind blown!
