Looking for Leo - A Nail-Biting Psychological Suspense Thriller

J.A. Baker

Sinossi

When a boy goes missing from a small English village, deadly secrets and paranoid suspicions collide in this psychological thriller. 
 
When Ashton was a child, he committed a heinous crime. Now he’s back in the North Yorkshire town where the traumatic event took place, having taken a job as an art instructor. Though it’s good to be home, he fears unwanted attention—especially after an older teacher recognizes him as the troubled boy from all those years ago. 
 
When eight-year-old Leo disappears on his way home from school, a desperate search begins. Then a local woman hears of Ashton’s return and reports him to the police. Being added to a short list of suspects is a frightening turn of events for Ashton. But it’s not nearly as terrifying as Leo’s predicament: being locked in a soundproof room, wondering what his unpredictable captor will do next.

The body of a young woman is found brutally murdered on a windswept hillside, a scrapboard sign covering her mutilated body reads 'TRATOR'. Traitor. Acting Sergeant Séan O'Keefe of the Royal Irish Constabulary, a wounded veteran of the Great War, is assigned to investigate the crime, aided by sinister detectives sent from Dublin Castle to ensure he finds the killer, just so long as the killer he finds best serves the purposes of the crown in Ireland. . .
