Tall Oaks
€11.98
When three-year-old Harry Monroe goes missing, Tall Oaks is the sort of community you’d expect to rally round and find him before the day is out. Someone must know something. But months later his desperate mother Jess is an increasingly isolated figure, still printing off posters of her son and putting them on display around the town with the police investigation apparently at a standstill. And it’s becoming quite clear that however well they all think they know each other, there are secrets tucked away that no one wants to see the light of day.
