A year has almost passed, and Darragh is still missing. His absence is breaking Jules and Seth’s hearts. Darragh’s case has gone cold. DI Lucy O’Leary’s visions have become alarming. Someone is enjoying cutting flesh, and she worries that if she doesn’t work out what is going on soon, then it might be too late.
Desperate to find their toddler, they invite local travellers to stay on their land at Waterfall West, convinced that they know something about Darragh’s abduction. Jess, a traveller, has a boy that looks remarkably like Darragh. Jules does not trust her and thinks she knows where Darragh is.
“You don’t like him being with other women, do you?” Granny whispered.
“No, it’s not that. I trust Seth with my life. It's Jess I don’t trust. There is something about her that worries me. I can’t say what exactly. I think she is hiding something.”
Tom Stone trials start in April 2021. His lawyer has asked him to plead guilty for the murder of Gemma Day. Tom, believing he is innocent, is convinced that Jules will drop the abduction charges against him and they will continue with their relationship. His lawyer and his cellmate Jasper, thinks he needs his head examined.
Jules sighed and looked into Seth’s big brown eyes, and felt reassured. “It's going to be ok. We are going to find Darragh soon, aren't we?”
“To be sure! Granny will help us find him, although I am not sure what Gemma has to do with all this. Do you believe in ghosts, Jules?” Seth asked. “I'm not sure I do.”
“No, not really, but I would accept help from the devil himself if it means we get our boy back.”
The crucial Is Darragh still alive?
