Abstract

[Extract] SUZI SURGES FORWARD, HER THONGS IRONING LEAF LITTER, TOES clutching rubber like leeches. Her mouth hangs open. Brown curls threaten to bury a face devoid of circulation. Her vision narrows. I'm going for a walk, her son had said a few minutes ago. He can't have gone far. A cluster of leaves sweeps across Suzi' s face as she follows a path through the forest. A three-year-old had disappeared from his home last year. The child had been out of sight for only a few minutes. Abducted by a paedophile and murdered, they said. The police searched everywhere, but he was never found. Never found.
