When David's 11-year-old nephew goes missing and he finds the finger pointed at him, he has no choice but to strike out on his own u an unlikely vigilante running away from the police and his own family, and running towards what he hopes desperately is the truth about Andrew's disappearance.

David Kingsgrove is a man on a mission. An ordinary man u and an extraordinary mission. It is a mission that will turn him into someone he never thought he would be: the king of the road, the loner on the highway, the crusader for a sort of justice he has never before had to seek.

Andrew had been a regular visitor to David's home right up until the day he disappeared, walking out the front door to visit a neighbour. It doesn't take long for the police to decide that David u a single man in his thirties, living alone u is their suspect. Soon Andrew's parents will share that opinion. But David knows that he didn't take Andrew.

Realising that the only way Andrew will be found is if he finds him u the police, after all, are fixated on David as their suspect and are not looking anywhere else u David turns to the one person who he knows will help him: Matty an ex-cop now his personal trainer, whose own son disappeared several years before.

David's crusade to find Andrew will also take him into his own dark heart u to do things he never thought he would have to do, and go places he has never wanted to go. And the choices David makes lead us all to ask: How far would I go to save someone I love?

Couldn't put it down!
Fantastic read; I look forward to more from Nigel Bartlett. While it is based around a sensitive subject and deals with the abduction of a young boy and what I imagine is every parent's worst nightmare, I think that's part of what makes it such a fantastic thriller. These sort of things do happen in the world, and involve those who appear to be "normal" adults who have jobs, families, neighbours, etc. It can happen to anyone, anywhere. This book also touches on the importance of knowing what your child is doing online (because every child will find a way to be online and on websites they may be too young for), and who they are talking to.
