One Missing. One Remains. A small town, cold case psychological suspense novel that will stay with you long after the final page.
A ten-year-old girl vanishes on her walk home.
No witnesses. No answers. No closure.
A decade later, something surfaces.
A connection no one saw coming.
A truth someone has worked very hard to keep buried.
In 2003, ten-year-old Hattie Monetti vanished on her walk home from school in the quiet New South Wales town of Hartford. She was never seen again.
Despite an extensive investigation, the case went cold, leaving a town haunted by unanswered questions and a family shattered by loss.
Ten years later, new evidence emerges that may link Hattie's disappearance to two other missing children from a neighbouring town. As police reopen the investigation, long-buried secrets begin to surface, and suspicion falls on those closest to home.
For Hattie's older sister Anna, the nightmare never ended. While the town tried to move on, she was left to live in the shadow of the day her sister disappeared.
Now the past is returning, and someone in Hartford knows the truth about what happened to Hattie Monetti.
Told from the perspective of the sister who was left behind, and a police officer with everything to lose, this haunting psychological suspense novel explores grief, memory and the secrets a small town will do anything to keep hidden.
G.K. Woolf's twisty novel is a striking and atmospheric entry into the psychological thriller space.
