Mysterious victim
Can Kate and Tristan find out what happened to poor Janey, or will she remain lost in time forever?
In 1988, schoolgirl Janey Macklin disappeared from a poor London neighborhood. Her body was never found and the case remained unsolved. Now, thirty years later, Kate Marshall and Tristan Harper' s private detective agency is approached by a creative agency that wants to turn Janey' s disappearance into a true crime podcast, among other things, and asks Kate and Tristan an interesting question: Is it possible that Janey was killed by Peter Conway, known as the Cannibal of Nine Elms? An old, open case with media coverage would mean an extremely lucrative contract for Kate, but at the same time, a complicated past that Kate would prefer to forget will come to light again. Nevertheless, they throw themselves into the search for young Janey' s fate. But the clues don' t take them very far: The last person, who saw Janey alive, was first convicted, but then acquitted of her murder, Peter Conway is in poor health and is rapidly wasting away, and Kate and Tristan are increasingly unnerved by the motivations and intentions of their clients and their ties to crime.
