(blurb)When Ruth Gemmel's younger brother Alex fails to return her calls, she sets off to check up on him. Unable to find him in Greenwell, the town where he has been living and teaching, she begins her tentative enquiries. She soon discovers the locals to be frustratingly unhelpful, whilst the eerie town holds more questions than clues. Why are the police so uncooperative? Why is Greenwell so dark and lonely? And who is the 'grey man' the schoolchildren saw Alex with not long before he went missing?

As Ruth becomes concerned that something terrible has happened to her brother, events escalate mysteriously, dangerously out of control. Too late, Ruth realises that her worst fears haunt her still, and that she is at the centre of a far darker nightmare than she could ever have imagined.

Had this on my wish list & spotted it at a library sale. Will probably keep in permanent collection when read as is a hardback.

Wow...quite a disturbing book.

Ruth been a victim of domestic violence in a previous relationship. Her brother Alex was there for her then, so when he goes missing she heads north to Greenwell to find him. But she is thwarted at every turn & even the police seem to be against her &, while, in police custody she suffers a humiliating & degrading experience. But things get worse...

A real page turner....it kept me guessing all the way through & I certainly had no idea that it would end how it did!
