Mothers of the Disappeared (2014)
Suspended from the Association of British Investigators and facing an enquiry into his alleged misconduct over four years ago, J McNee’s career hangs in the balance. The last thing he should be doing is taking on new business. But when the mother of a murdered child asks him to re-open a case he helped close during his time in the police, McNee can’t refuse. Is the wrong man serving a life sentence for a series of brutal murders? And, if so, why did he admit his guilt before the court? As McNee searches for answers, he finds himself forced to make a terrifying moral choice: one that will change his life forever.
