Following the mysterious disappearance of her husband, Dorothy Gibbons, a middle-aged ex librarian affectionately known as Lady Pink Hat, trudged the lanes around Drumford, homeless and directionless, with only her memories for company. Alone, she rolled a dice, reflecting on her life, times both painful and pleasant.
When her husband vanished, Dorothy didn't think that life could get any worse.
Jamal Hussain, a Syrian refugee and asylum seeker, was fostered under the careful wing of Dorothy, until leaving school and finding work. He and his brother settled in a nearby flat, that is, until the misguided Ahmed Hussain also disappeared.
Dorothy, or Dot, stumbled upon The Grange; an empty haunted farmhouse, where she squatted periodically. Millie, an 18th century aspirant nun, who was swinging from the rafters as Dot tried to sleep, was her only company. She tried to piece together the nun's story, which changed the course of her life and, in her isolation, she began to write ...
'Millie, an 18th Century aspirant nun, ran away from The Grange ...
With three missing people, who will discover what happened? Is Millie still haunting The Grange until her story is told?
Will Dorothy's resilience win through? Will she ever find peace and, more importantly, will she ever learn the truth?
Following the success of 'MURDER, Now and Then', this new novel 'MISSING, Past and Present', is a compelling and intriguing 'mystery inspired by history.'
