It is a hot summer's day in the tourist village of Avebury. A man sits outside the Red Lion pub, waiting. He sees a woman with three young children, two of them running ahead while their sister dawdles behind. A child's voice catches on the breeze.
For want of anything more interesting to do, the man watches. He sees nothing sinister or threatening. Even when another figure enters his field of vision, he does not react. The figure is ordinary - male, short-haired, stockily built.But he is moving fast, at a loping run.
And then it happens. In one swift movement, the running man grabs the youngest child and carries her away. Still the man outside the pub does not react. Suddenly, awhite transit van bursts into view, its engine racing, its rear door slamming shut. The child and her abductor are inside. The child's sister rushes forward. The man outside the pub jumps up...
The tragedy begins at Avebury. But it does not end there.

Zustand: Muy bueno. : En el verano de 1981, una niña de dos años, Tamsin Hall, fue secuestrada durante un picnic en el famoso sitio prehistórico de Avebury en Wiltshire. Su hermana de siete años, Miranda, fue atropellada y asesinada por la camioneta del secuestrador. Las niñas estaban al cuidado de su niñera, Sally Wilkinson. Uno de los testigos de este trágico evento fue David Umber, un estudiante de doctorado que esperaba en el pub del pueblo para reunirse con un hombre llamado Griffin, quien afirmó que podía ayudar a Umber con sus investigaciones sobre las cartas de 'Junius', el polemista seudónimo del siglo XVIII que era el tema de su doctorado. Pero Griffin no se presentó y Umber nunca más supo de él. Tamsin Hall tampoco fue vista nunca más. La familia Hall se desmoronó bajo la tensión. Sally Wilkinson terminó viviendo con Umber, a quien había conocido en la investigación. Pero nunca se recuperó del incidente, sufrió cada vez más de depresión y finalmente se suicidó. En la primavera de 2004, el jefe inspector retirado George Sharp recibe una carta firmada 'Junius' reprochándole por arruinar la investigación de 1981. Sharp se enfrenta a Umber, cuya explicación de estar en la escena de la tragedia siempre ha parecido dudosa. Obligado a aceptar la negación de Umber de la autoría de la carta, no obstante, lo obliga a unirse a una búsqueda del verdadero culpable, y por lo tanto, la verdad largamente oculta sobre lo que sucedió 23 años antes. Es una búsqueda que ambos lamentarán más tarde haber emprendido. Demasiado tarde llegan a comprender que es mejor dejar algunos misterios sin resolver.
