On a rain-drenched night, a young husband runs to the corner shop – and never returns.
Eighteen years later, his body reappears.
-Reappears, wearing the same clothes, and on the same street from which he went missing.
-Reappears, and is the victim of a hit/run driver.
He looks exactly the same now as when he vanished.
His widow, Jennifer Parkes, is determined to solve this enigma once and for all.
Other bodies are found, all missing eighteen years. None seem to have aged.
On the trail of a vicious killer, Jennifer and homicide detective Neil Lachlan are drawn into a human minefield of deception and terror; into the depths of a mystery that baffles the police and defies logic. Investigating at the forefront of scientific and medical technologies, they confront a threat that is closer than either of them could ever have imagined.
I really enjoyed this one: no one thing stood out, the romance was formulaic, police procedural with a curve but otherwise unremarkable. And yet something, be it the strength of characterisation or even the setting meant that I was kept interested and reading. I’d certainly enjoy more in a series, even if I can’t quite detail why!
