Every parent's worst nightmare...
When five-year-old Leo disappears after leaving school, it sets a chain of events in motion that will change the lives of the local residents forever.
Ashton committed a terrible crime as a child, but he’s determined to put the past behind him and build a new life for himself – where no one knows his dark secrets.
But Lynda, a stern secondary school teacher, recognises the troubled boy from all those years ago, bringing him the unwelcome attention he fears.
Sarah, a bored housewife and vicious gossip, hears about Ashton’s past and convinces herself he is responsible for Leo’s disappearance.
And meanwhile Leo remains missing. Gone without a trace…
But just who took Leo and why? And will he be found before it’s too late?
Please note: This book is re-issue of Looking For Leo by J A Baker
