Publisher's Summary

They moved everyone that long hot summer fifteen years ago. They needed a new reservoir and an old community seemed a cheap price to pay. They even dug up the dead and moved them too.

But four inhabitants of the valley they couldn't move, for nobody knew where they were. Three little girls had gone missing, and the prime suspect in their disappearance, Benny Lightfoot. This was Andy Dalziel's worst case and now fifteen years on he looks set to relive it.

It's another long hot summer. A child goes missing in the next valley, and old fears arise as someone sprays the deadly message on the wall of Danby: BENNY'S BACK!

Music and myth mingle as the Mid-Yorkshire team delve into their pasts and into their own reserves of experience and endurance in search of answers which threaten to bring more pain than they resolve.

A great novel, spoiled by the sjw dogma

A great novel, spoiled by the authors far-left sexism and misandry just below the surface. Hill believes it is his role to diminish white men and speak out for women and gays. Hill believes that women and minorities are nothing without him.
An inconvenient fact : Statistically, women are responsible for MOST killings of children and assaults on children.
