There is suspense in this story. Even if the reader can quite early on guess at least a part of the solution, the story is still a page-turner.Griff is a decent journalist working on a book about a 20 years old mystery. Luckily enough he is allowed by the pater familias to do that. Against the wish of all others, including family's lawyer Pierce. Pierce had loved the small boy, despite the age difference, and he still feels guilty about not allowing the small boy to stay and watch the tv and thus perhaps avoid being kidnapped.While visiting "the place of the crime" - the mansion from where the child disappeared - Griff starts to suffer with the problem of his childhood, nightmares and panic attacks. He has always looked younger than his age, was home-schooled and never been to a doctor, never got help for his nightmares.Then a young man appears, claiming he is the missing boy. And his features seem to confirm it. But he gets murdered. Who does not want him to return and claim his part of the fortune?Very good job, mr. Lanyon, both as a thriller and a love story. Keep up the good work.
