The Missing Ones starts when a woman’s body is found in a cathedral and then a couple hours later a young man is found hanging from a tree. The two bodies seem unconnected, but both have the same tattoo inscribed on their legs. The pair is connected somehow and it’s up to Detective Lottie Parker to lead the investigation. The trail will lead her to St. Angela’s, a former children’s home, that has a connection to her own family history. This case just got personal as Lottie will link these victims to a decades old unsolved murder. Now, another two boys have gone missing and her timeline gets accelerated if she hopes to save them.

There are more books in the Lottie Parker series including The Final Betrayal, the sixth book in the series. The story sees two girls named Amy and Penny who go missing from a nightclub in the early hours. The case is given to Lottie who will need to investigate. Signs point to Conor Dowling, a man just released from prison, who was put behind bars by Amy. However, he has an alibi and Lottie will need to dig beyond the obvious to find the one responsible.
