Shadowplay

What would you do if your only daughter suddenly vanished?

For Robert Stead, former bookseller and lifelong underachiever, the answer is get revenge on the man he is convinced has killed her. But as Stead becomes embroiled in a shadowy world of gangsters and mercenaries, he rapidly comes to realise that his beloved girl was involved in a conspiracy beyond his darkest dreams. A conspiracy that stretches back two decades and right across the country, from the violent backstreets of South London to the sleepy villages of Middle England.

A compelling tale of deceit and obsession, SHADOWPLAY is the story of one man’s search for his daughter and also for himself.
