An epic family mystery with a powerful, surprise ending, which features the return of the ever-fascinating Sheilagh Fielding, one of the most memorable characters in fiction. Ned Vatcher, only 14, ambles home from school in the winter of 1936 to find the house locked, the family car missing, and his parents gone without a trace.
