Hardback: Manon Bradshaw is back.
Manon has settled back into life in Cambridgeshire with her adopted son Fly.
As dusk falls a young man staggers through a park, far from home, bleeding from a stab wound. He dies where he falls; cradled by a stranger, a woman's name on his lips in his last seconds of life.
DI Manon Bradshaw cannot help taking an interest - these days she only handles cold cases, but the man died just yards from the police station where she works.
She is horrified to discover that both victim and prime suspect are more closely linked to her than she could have imagined.
And as the Cambridgeshire police force closes ranks against her, she is forced to contemplate the unthinkable.
How well does she know her loved ones, and are they capable of murder?
Persons Unknown (2017), the sequel to Missing, Presumed, is her third novel and the second instalment in the very well-written and superb DS Manon Bradshaw series set in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, UK.
