Matilda Darke is back.
APRIL 2020: LOCKDOWN
DI Brady has been tracing victims of systemic abuse at a local children's home after a high-profile accusation pitched it into the spotlight - a case that couldn't be more personal.
As Matilda and her team piece together the disturbing picture of the history of the home, it soon becomes clear that this is much bigger than they ever suspected.
But nothing prepares them for what they uncover next.
The Lost Children is an utterly gripping crime thriller weaving a breakneck tale of a vast network of secrets and lies, a relentless detective determined to sabotage it, and a murder that shatters two decades of silence.
