The Mystery of the Missing Child
(2025)(The third book in the Salisbury Murders series)
A novel by Wendy Boynton
When baby Noah vanishes from his cot in the dead of night, suspicion falls on Vikram, his mother’s boyfriend. With time passing and no trace of Noah, the police arrest the young Asian man and charge him with abduction. They also suspect that he has murdered the child, despite there being no body and only circumstantial evidence.
Luckily, Vikram’s cousin works at Britford Lodge: sous-chef Sanjeev begs amateur sleuths Meg and Lauren to help.
Their search leads them into the dark world of Radical Action Salisbury, a violent anti- immigrant group led by Noah’s estranged father, Tyler. As secrets unravel, Meg and Lauren discover betrayal, hidden trauma and a family torn apart by hatred. When a key suspect is brutally murdered, the threads of the abduction begin to twist in an unexpected direction, and the case becomes more dangerous than either of them ever imagined. With a child’s life at stake and a killer desperate to silence the truth, Meg and Lauren must race against time to find baby Noah.
A gripping tale of prejudice, obsession, and the lengths people will go to for love – or revenge.
