Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks investigates the chilling case of Brenda Scupham, a welfare mother who unwittingly hands her seven-year-old daughter, Gemma, over to child abductors claiming to be social workers.

A Vietnam vet is haunted by his past. A violent past that cannot be forgotten or forgiven, or can it? Today Ed Saunders is on the road selling computer software but as he enters the quiet town of Ludlow, Ohio, he witnesses another tragedy, the abduction of a young girl. He tries to help but the only problem is, what he saw was all in the past. Did the flashback he witnessed really happen or is the ageing vet finally losing his mind? With the help of more visions into the past and the support of the town librarian, Ed puts his life on the line to investigate a series of gruesome murders going back to the early 60s when cars were be-finned colourful land yachts and gas was cheap and plentiful. With another kid-napping and planned murder under way, Edd takes on a bizarre cult of neo-Nazi extremists to try and save a special boy from a horrific ritual slaying, but time is running out. Can history help the present or will it just repeat itself? His painful past has finally caught up with him but not quite how he expected.

Another classic mystery from the 'Master of the Clever Twist'. One summer's day in 1981 a two-year-old girl, Tamsin Hall, was abducted during a picnic at the famous prehistoric site of Avebury in Wiltshire. Her seven-year-old sister Miranda was knocked down and killed by the abductor's van. The girls were in the care of their nanny, Sally Wilkinson. One of the witnesses to this tragic event was David Umber, a Phd student who was waiting at the village pub to keep an appointment with a man called Griffin. But Griffin failed to show up, and Umber never heard from him again. Tamsin Hall was never seen again either.
