Reflections

A five-year-old girl disappears with a mentally-disabled man, never to be seen again.  It's obvious he abducted her, just as it's obvious they must both be dead, their remains lost somewhere in the marshes surrounding the remote, Essex village where they both lived.

But it's not obvious to Pippa Golding.  She has information, a knowledge of lies told at the time.  She doesn't know why certain people lied nor how far those untruths went in aiding two people to disappear, but she intends to find out.

Why now?  It's been forty years after all, but Pippa has her own reasons for wanting people to remember.  There's truth out there amongst the hearsay and gossip.  It just needs those involved to face up to the past and reflect on what really happened that day.

But it won't be easy.  There are more secrets than even Pippa can imagine and opening up old wounds won't necessarily get to the truth, but Pippa is determined to try.
