Two young British students vanish without a trace. The police tell their parents that the boys had been under surveillance, that it was likely they left the country to pursue their dangerous new ideals. Seven years later, Nazim’s grief-stricken mother is still unconvinced. Unable to understand why the police failed to investigate the suspicious circumstances surrounding the boys’ disappearance, or the mysterious involvement of the Security Services, she has exhausted every avenue in her search for the truth. Jenny Cooper is her last hope.

Finally established as the Severn Vale District Coroner, Jenny launches an investigation which reveals secrets from the past that powerful and corrupt figures have worked hard to suppress. But as the pressure mounts to silence her increasingly dangerous and politically sensitive inquiry, events from the past collide with the present and propel Jenny into a desperate and life-threatening struggle for justice. And how could she have known that by unravelling the mysteries of the disappeared she would begin to unearth her own dark secrets?
