Blast from the Past

The past left scars. The killer left clues, in this tense thriller from the bestselling DI Bob Willis series.

It is 1986. Assigned to a new Cold Case Unit, retired Detective Inspector Mungo ‘Bob’ Willis has reopened the investigation into the 1962 disappearance of a nine-year-old boy. Paul Bromfield was snatched from one of the last steam trains from Evercreech Junction to Burnham-on-Sea and later found dead in an abandoned bunker.

A day at the seaside turned to tragedy. And a child’s name everyone remembers.

The killer has been watching—waiting for this moment. When another child vanishes and chilling messages begin to arrive, Bob finds himself caught in a dangerous game. With time running out, he must decipher clues that have been hidden in plain sight for decades; clues that point to the lasting fallout from a forgotten nightmare.

The truth is still out there. And it’s not finished with him yet.
