Gone But Not Forgotten

The trauma of loved ones going missing is many people’s worst nightmare and so it’s not surprising that it’s also a frequent source of inspiration for authors who love to mess with their readers’ minds.

A vanished husband and a lying wife create a chilling Icelandic mystery in One True Word, the exhilarating debut from Snæbjörn Arngrímsson. The last written words of a serial killer are key to finding a missing child in Tariq Ashkanani’s dark masterpiece The Midnight King. Simon Mason’s mismatched detectives Wilkins and Wilkins seek an absent professor in the riotously entertaining A Voice in the Night. Buried secrets, emerging truths and a family missing without a trace lie at the heart of Rob Parker’s atmospheric thriller The Troubled Deep.

Bestseller Sarah Hilary is in the chair.
