When children aged between 6 and 16 go missing over a period of five years whilst visiting different famous forests around London, leaving very few clues to account for their disappearance, the police are mystified as to where they may have gone, and what may have happened to them. However, everything is about to change when a senior police officer in a small Hertfordshire town is informed by one of his close friends that his friend's young nephews have suddenly disappeared. He immediately organises a search of the area including the local forest, which leads him to discover not only similar clues to the previous cases of children who have gone missing from the forests around London, but vital additional clues. So begins an investigation which uncovers past secrets that lead to the discovery of a major crime set up which is to leave a lasting effect on all concerned. This story is centred on the harsh realities and truths going on around us every day whilst we continue to go about our daily lives. I have written this book to make people more aware of the issues featured in this story, in the hope that parents will be more vigilant in ensuring that the same thing doesn't befall their children or them. The hard truth of the matter is that it could happen and is happening every day.
