Description
Love builds the strongest cages
A young boy has disappeared from his London home. No sign of forced entry. No witnesses. No trace. Just an empty house and parents crazed with fear.
When the investigation is linked to a horrific discovery beneath a derelict Victorian mansion, DCI Oswald Lennox and DC Olivia Blackwood realise they're up against a methodical predator who has been perfecting his lethal craft for years.
Every hour that passes brings the missing boy closer to an unthinkable fate.
But as Lennox and Blackwood close in on the solution, the killer makes a bold and shocking move, turning the case into a deadly battle of wills.
As Lennox continues to struggle with lapses in memory and focus, and Blackwood's impulsive nature threatens to derail her career while it's just getting started, the two must unite their contrasting talents and confront a truth that shakes them to their core.
For some monsters, death is not enough.
The Vanishing Room is the second gripping instalment in the Lennox & Blackwood Crime Thriller series, perfect for fans of Mark Billingham's Tom Thorne, Jane Casey's Maeve Kerrigan, and William Shaw's DS Alexandra Cupidi.
