Forgotten Souls
Continue to discover the dark truths of Whitby's Forgotten Victims in this gripping new thriller by bestselling British crime author Wes Markin.
No soul is quiet, yet the cry of the forgotten soul is impossible to ignore.
When the sea yields a grim discovery on Whitby's coast, DCI Frank Black hears the haunting cry of Greg Lyle - a vulnerable 13-year-old boy fascinated by sea creatures, last seen walking his beloved dog, Buddy, twenty-six years ago.
Alongside his autistic companion, DI Gerry Carver, Frank pursues this cry through a labyrinth of shattered homes, hidden identities, and religious obsessions.
In Greg, Frank recognises Gerry's vulnerability. In Simon Lyle, he sees reflections of his own failings as a father.
As buried truths surface, Frank's resolve only strengthens.
He will answer the cry of this forgotten soul.
Even if it costs him his own.
