For four long years, journalist Morgan Vine has campaigned for the release of her childhood sweetheart Danny Kilcannon - convicted, on dubious evidence, of murdering his 14 year-old stepdaughter.
When a key witness recants, Danny is released from prison. With nowhere else to go, he relies on single mum Morgan and her teenage daughter, Lissa.
But then Lissa goes missing.

Reviews / Votes
With believably flawed characters, a strong sense of place, a tense did-he-or-didn't-he plot and plenty of cliffhangers, Without Trace is an assured start to Booker's projected series. More, please. * Guardian * ? The tension was palpable. It was contemporary, well plotted and the main character, Morgan Vine was real, flawed and vulnerable as we all are, but tenacious too and all the more a heroine to me, because of it * Breakaway Reviewers * Booker has written many TV crime dramas, so it's no surprise that his debut thriller is highly accomplished * Express.co.uk * Simon Booker's Without Trace is the kind of book I adore. It sends your head in a spin! An excellent thriller, with a bewitching lead in Morgan * Northern Crime Review Book Blog * A fantastic , well written debut thriller that will keep you guessing throughout and on the edge of your seat. Cannot wait to read more by Simon and meet Morgan Vine again. Highly recommended * Blooming Brilliant Books Blog *More details
