Two teens vanish. A town stays silent.

When schoolgirl Mandy Gibson vanishes from the quiet seaside town of North Berwick, DC Scott Cullen walks into a case already simmering with suspicion.

The locals blame Jamie Cook – a teenage troublemaker with a record and a temper. But Jamie’s gone too.

Both families are tied to a breakaway religious sect, led by an excommunicated priest. As Cullen digs deeper, he finds a community willing to protect its own – no matter the cost.

To find Mandy, Cullen must tear through the lies. And hope he’s not already too late.
