Why a Booktrail?
2000s: A missing child at a funfair…every parent’s nightmare
All That is Buried
What you need to know before your trail
A parent’s worst fear is realised when seven-year-old Libby Hallforth goes missing at a funfair. There are no witnesses, no leads, no trace. Her mother says she only took her eye off her for a second and her father has a quick temper. What might have been happening behind closed doors?
Months later, after the trail for Libby has gone cold, DI Jake Porter and DS Nick Styles find human remains, but that’s just the tip of a gruesome iceberg.
Everyone is a suspect, nobody can be trusted, including the Hallforth family. The chances of getting justice for Libby are fading fast, along with Porter’s chances of stopping a killer before they strike again.

A visit of London’s parks, BookTrail style
The city of London is well evoked in this series and this latest offering is no exception. The city’s parks and grass areas are of interest here as a small girl has disappeared from a funfair and she’s been spotted in Victoria Park…or has she?
The city is huge at the best of times but when you’re missing a child, it must seem never-ending. Where would you start to look and what chance would there be of finding her?
The sense of space adds to hopelessness and the search for a ‘needle in a haystack’.
