The Woman Who Disappeared

Dolly Wainwright lived quietly on a peaceful street in Gateshead, dedicating her free time to amateur dramatics at the local theatre.

Dolly vanished without a trace in the dead of night, days before Christmas 1968, and was never seen again.

Two decades later, Dolly’s friend Jean Turner enlists private investigator Harriet Cross to uncover the truth behind her disappearance.

As Harriet digs deeper, she is drawn into a shadowy world of backstreet nightclubs and drag queens. At the seedy Cabaret club, she uncovers dark undercurrents of blackmail and hidden agendas among the performers.

The murder of artist Lee Edwards adds a chilling new layer of urgency to the case.

What secrets was Dolly hiding, and was she truly as innocent as she seemed? As past and present collide, Harriet uncovers a shocking truth about Dolly's fate, forcing her to decide where justice truly lies.

The Woman Who Disappeared is the second novel featuring Private Investigator Harriet Cross.
