Buried Deep Within: Detectives expose a small town's secrets in this artful mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781804622766)

Abduction and murder occur a little too close to home for a team of Welsh detectives

A christening party turns into a terrifying ordeal when baby Cora vanishes, seemingly into thin air.

A frenetic search operation gets underway immediately, and DI Winter Meadows marshals his team to investigate the attendees, who are mostly worse for wear.

Suspicion falls on Olwen, the elderly grandmother of the missing baby, who appears confused. She went walkabout during the time of the infant's disappearance. Fears grow that she drowned the child in the swollen River Amman.

It is not the first time that tragedy has struck this small Welsh community. Five years before, someone died in a caving incident, and feelings are still raw.

As Meadows familiarises himself with the friends and family, it is clear that animosity runs deep.

But who would be so callous as to endanger the life of a newborn child? And might someone who goes to such lengths be cunning enough to escape recrimination?
