Dave Llewelyn left Blaenau Ffestiniog at fifteen and swore he'd never go back. Thirty years later, disgraced, broke, and facing prison, he has nowhere else to run.
He tells himself he's only there for a dead aunt's house. He tells himself the blackouts are the drink. He tells himself he doesn't remember his sister Emma because some things are better forgotten. But Blaenau remembers him.
When a pregnant local woman arrives with a list of seventeen children who vanished without trace, and a name that makes Dave throw up on the spot, he can no longer outrun what he buried here three decades ago.
Because somewhere beneath the slate tips, something has been waiting for him to come home.
Genre: Mystery
