Inspector Wexford #19
From the cover:
There hadn’t been anything like this kind of rain in living memory. The River Brede had burst its banks, and not a single house in the valley had escaped the flooding. In the midst of all this, two teenagers – Giles and Sophie Dade – and Joanna Troy, the woman who had been looking after them, have vanished. The Subaqua Task Force could find no trace of them, but Mrs Dade was still convinced her children were dead.
The investigation would call into question many of Wexford’s assumptions about the way people behaved, including his own family. . .
