About this audiobook
*PREORDER NOW*
A timeless detective. The coldest cases. Meet Ali Dawson.
Detective Ali Dawson and her team travel back in time to solve cold cases and catch killers.
Ali is investigating the disappearance of ten-year-old Charlie Knight, who went to the shops one day in 1998 and never came back. This one feels personal to Ali, not only because Charlie reminds her of her own son, Finn, but also because Charlie and his family lived on Brimstone Lane, Ali's street in the East End.
Desperate to find answers for Charlie's mother, Ali decides to go back to the day the little boy went missing. But something goes wrong, and Ali finds herself trapped in the blitz of 1940 as bombs fall on Brimstone Lane.
Ali can't understand how she got there. And, even more importantly, will she work out how to get home and find justice for Charlie?
