Here the Road Ends
When her mentally disabled son develops a strange obsession, Audrey Johnson contacts private investigator John “Slim” Hardy for help.
Andy Johnson has been making teddy bears and leaving them on the memorial of a nine-year-old girl who drowned on Dartmoor more than forty years ago. When nothing will put him off his bizarre tribute to a child who died before he was even born, Slim moves to the peaceful rural community of Brentor to investigate.
However, as he digs deeper into the past, overturning stones that do not wish to be overturned, he uncovers a bombshell that will rock the quiet, private community to its very core.
And soon he will be looking over his shoulder, because there are people out there on the moor that want their secrets to remain buried.
Here the Road Ends is a thrilling mystery with twists until the last page from Jack Benton, author of the bestsellers The Man by the Sea and The Clockmaker’s Secret.
