Golden beaches and lush fields hide dark secrets on the idyllic island of Jersey.

When young girls start to disappear, newly arrived prison psychologist Saskia Monet is called in to assist Detective Inspector Winter Labey. But Saskia has secrets of her own - ones that give her a unique insight into the mind of a criminal…

As a fourth child disappears, a chilling ransom note arrives, along with wooden flutes left at each crime scene – echoing the haunting tale of the Pied Piper. Saskia is convinced the kidnapper's motives run deeper than they are letting on, but can she persuade Winter to trust her instincts before it's too late?

With the clock ticking and the kidnapper threatening to shatter another family’s life, Saskia and Winter are thrust into a deadly game where the Pied Piper always seems one step ahead.

An absolutely gripping and heart-pounding thriller that will have you racing to the end. Fans of Angela Marsons, Rachel McLean and J M Dalgliesh will be hooked on The Stolen Ones.
