by Margaret Yorke (Author)

Synopsis

ACT OF VIOLENCE - The quiet market town of Mickleburgh is shattered when four local boys commit an astonishingly needless act of violence. As the pressure mount on the boys from police, friends and neighbours, a released murderer is enthralled by the crime and, posing as a psychotherapist, stands poised to offer counselling ...ADMIT TO MURDER - When Louise Vaughan disappears on her way home from choir practice, her parents and their close friend Norah are devastated. No trace of her is ever found. But twelve years later, Detective Marsh rekindles the investigation and discovers that the family, including a spiteful and violent adopted brother, has something to hide. A CASE TO ANSWER - Widowed after two years of marriage to her second husband, Charlotte would like to move away from her past and her mistrustful in-laws. At the same time she takes in her disturbed god- daughter and allows an apparently reformed petty thief to renovate her garden. Slowly, past lies and previous deceits begin to unravel, and on a night none of them will ever forget, Charlotte disappears .
