Meet Detectives Slater and Norman, an unlikely crime-solving duo. They might seem like they have nothing in common, except a love of doughnuts and banter. But they never give up on a case, no matter how tough things get . . .
Please note, this book was previously published as The Secret of Wild Boar Woods.
Three little girls. All blonde, adorable — all missing from the same school.
Frazzled single mum Janet Morrison gets to St Xavier’s School, twenty minutes late for pick-up. She scans the playground for her eight-year-old daughter, panic rising in her chest. Chrissy should be here. Waiting by the gate like always.
This time, Chrissy is nowhere to be found.
Detective Slater is called to investigate. But he’s got his work cut out, with his partner, the irreplaceable Norm, off on leave — and just one tenuous lead to go on. An elderly stranger, seen loitering outside the school.
Norm can’t just sit around while a little girl is missing, so he starts some digging of his own. It seems the pupils of St Xavier’s have a history of disappearing. Chrissy’s the third little girl to go missing in thirty years.
Then a body is found, out in secluded Wild Boar Woods, and Slater can feel the pieces of the puzzle falling into place. But darker secrets lie buried out in the woods.
The clock is ticking for Detectives Slater and Norman to bring Chrissy home alive . . .
This absolutely gripping detective mystery full of twists and turns is perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.
READERS LOVE DETECTIVES SLATER AND NORMAN:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I loved this book . . . the plot has more turns than a plate full of spaghetti. Purely entertaining.’ Mary

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘So twisted that I had a real hard time figuring out who did it and who was lying. This author is really talented.’ Lee
MEET THE DETECTIVES
DS David Slater is a youngish (not quite forty, thank you!) copper who knows his quiet corner of Hampshire like the back of his hand. The ladies can’t resist his strong, silent manners and bestubbled charms. But among the top brass, he’s persona non grata. Smooth-talking is not one of Slater’s many strengths. And so, he ends up unfairly blamed for a botched operation in the city. Will his unlikely new partnership with DS Norman Norman be the saving of his career?
Before he moved to Wales, DS Norman Norman — so good they named him twice — once patrolled the twisty streets of Tinton. His shabby dress sense and aversion to the gym may raise more than a few sniggers among the younger recruits down in Tinton. But what he lacks in fitness, he more than makes up for with hard-won experience and crime-solving nous. Will they be enough to win him the respect of his new partner?
