Sunday Times bestseller Charlaine Harris returns at last to her fan favourite Aurora Teagarden series with a brand new mystery Librarian Aurora Teagarden is basking in the news of her pregnancy when disaster strikes her small town: that afternoon, four children have vanished from the school football field. Aurora's fifteen-year-old brother Phillip is one of them. Also gone are two of his friends, and an eleven-year-old girl. And then there's an even worse discovery at the children's last known destination, a dead body. While the local police department comb the county for the missing children and interview everyone even remotely involved, Aurora and her new husband, true crime writer Robin Crusoe, begin their own investigation. Could the death and kidnappings have anything to do with a group of bullies at the middle school? Is Phillip's disappearance related to Aurora's father's gambling debts? Or is Phillip himself, new to town and an unknown quantity, responsible for taking the other children? With Christmas approaching, Aurora is determined to find her brother . . . if he's still alive. |
