But in their small, isolated, island community, trust is the only way to survive. Now a child has gone missing. And no one knows who to believe...

Ex-Detective Lacey Flint has quit the police for a safer, quieter life. Or that's what she thinks. Living alone on a houseboat, she is trying and failing to get over the love of her life, undercover Detective Mark Joesbury. But Mark is missing in action and impossible to forget. And danger won't leave Lacey alone... When she finds a body floating in the river, wrapped in white burial cloths, she can't resist asking questions. Who is this woman and why was she hidden in the fast-flowing depths? And who has been delivering unwanted gifts to Lacey? Someone is watching her very closely. Someone who knows exactly what makes her tick...

When a Cambridge student dramatically attempts to take her own life, DI Mark Joesbury realizes that the university has developed an unhealthy record of young people committing suicide in extraordinary ways. Against huge personal misgivings, Joesbury sends young policewoman DC Lacey Flint to Cambridge, with a brief to work under-cover, posing as a depression-prone, vulnerable student. Psychiatrist Evi Oliver is the only person in Cambridge who knows who Lacey really is — or so they both hope. But as the two women dig deeper into the darker side of university life, they discover a terrifying trend... And when Lacey starts experiencing the same disturbing nightmares reported by the dead girls, she knows that she is next.

Spine-tingling suspense! (Lisa Gardener). Barney has seen things. Things no child should see... and he knows the killer will strike again soon. The victim will be another boy, just like him. He will drain the body of blood, and leave it on a Thames beach. There will be no clues for detectives Dana Tulloch and Mark Joesbury to find. There will be no warning about who will be next. There will be no good reason for young policewoman Lacey Flint to become involved... And no chance that she can stay away. Like This, For Ever is published as Lost in the US.
