Everyone is talking about the disappearance of Emma Harte. How could yet another promising young woman vanish without a trace? Have the police tracked down her boyfriend yet? And why are women still not safe on our streets?
Archivist James Lyster is watching. When his carefully worded post about Emma goes viral, James starts to get some attention of his own. Soon he is drawn into the search for the missing woman, and the world of a group of idealistic university students, embarking on an affair with the unassuming Libby.
Then a body is found near James's flat. And suddenly he is being eyed with suspicion. Is the life of an innocent man about to unravel? Or is this all part of his plan?
