1990s,2000s: A child goes missing…..
Twenty-five years ago, on Halloween night, eight-year-old Kelly Doherty went missing while out trick or treating with friends.
Her body was found three days later, floating face down, on the banks of the Creggan Reservoir by two of her young classmates.
It was a crime that rocked Derry to the core. Journalist Ingrid Devlin is investigating – but someone doesn’t want her to know the truth. As she digs further, Ingrid starts to realise that the Doherty family are not as they seem. But will she expose what really happened that night before it’s too late?
The Creggan Country Park is the main setting of the novel with the Creggan Estate and the surrounding area acting as the background of the novel rather than the focus of the story.
The woods in the country park however feature heavily as they are a crime scene and somewhere where local children have their den. the woods also are there to represent fear and a place where loneliness and sadness roams.
