When Danny Llewelyn goes missing and Kevin Green is found on the banks of the Usk, near death, hysteria grips Abergavenny. Local Constable George Walker is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. However, police Sergeant, Bob Benson seems eager to pin the blame on a local man for the disappearance of Danny.
Amid the chaos, Marc Fagan and his friends hatch a plan to find Danny. Plans that lead to terrifying consequences.
A compelling read This is the sixth book of Jason Chapman's Marc Fagan stories set in Wales. Each of them is set in the present day, with flashbacks to DI Fagan's earlier life, growing up as a bit of a tearaway who leaves the area under a cloud before returning many years later a much reformed character. This time, it's different, with the bulk of the book set in 1980 when he was a young teenager. As ever,this author represents very well the attitudes and language of the times very well. He has a pithy, no holds barred stgle of writing. I'm familiar with the Abergavenny area where the series is centred, and he describes it very accurately. It's a very good book.
