Read by Robin Bailey.
Inspector Wexford - Book 6 (1971)

This novel deals with the disappearance of a small boy. Six months earlier,
a twelve-year-old girl disappeared in the same vicinity, and was never found.
So the two events terrify the community and galvanize Chief Wexford and his
deputy Burden into action. At the same time, Burden is having a very hard
time dealing with the loss of his wife to cancer about nine months earlier.
In fact, the secondary plot of Burden's emotional struggles almost overshadows
the mystery itself. Rendell handles both sides of her story with smooth
professional polish. The plotting is believable and skillful, the writing is
excellent, the characterizations are insightful.
