London, 1968. A young girl’s disappearance grips the city, and obituary writer Liz Houghton sees her chance to escape the back pages. If she can crack the story, the newsroom is hers. With her best friend Marisa, a police officer assigned to the case, Liz follows a trail to Dorset—and unearths chilling secrets.
Two decades earlier, three evacuee girls vanished near the same village, Tydeham, left ruined after military requisition during the war. One girl was found dead; the others were never seen again. As Liz investigates, unsettling memories and strange connections emerge.
What ties the missing girls to Tydeham’s abandoned streets? And why does a place Liz has never visited feel like a ghost from her past?
