Some ruins hide more than just history… A generation of lost children… In Victorian England, unwanted babies were a problem to be solved. And in a lonely part of the countryside, The Wainwright School was praised for giving them a home. But the children who passed through its doors had a troubling habit of disappearing. A detective drawn back to the past… Jake Jackson should be taking things easy. His wife is pregnant, and a dangerous woman from his police days has resurfaced with nothing to lose. But when bones are uncovered from the ruins of the Wainwright school, and a Victorian diary points to a cover-up, Jake cannot help himself. Some crimes take a century to solve… The closer Jake gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes that some people will go to any lengths to make sure these children stay forgotten forever.
