Summary
A missing child. A shattered detective. And a lie so convincing it becomes deadly.
When a seven-year-old boy vanishes after school, Detective Frank Collins finally gets the kind of case that could make his career. He’s ambitious, impatient, and desperate to prove himself. But the disappearance is only the first crack in something far darker.
As Collins digs deeper, it becomes clear the missing boy is being used as leverage. Someone is exploiting a grieving mother, manipulating her pain for profit. And Collins himself is being nudged, prodded, and quietly set up for a fall.
What begins as a routine missing-person case mutates into a psychological nightmare, where guilt, grief and professional rivalry blur into something toxic. The closer Collins gets to the truth, the more isolated he becomes and the more dangerous the game turns.
This collection brings together Allan Guthrie’s razor-sharp novellas and short fiction, led by the acclaimed Bye Bye Baby, and showcases his gift for moral ambiguity, dark humour and sudden, brutal turns.
This volume includes the novellas and stories:
Bye Bye Baby
Kill Clock
Hilda’s Big Day Out
Your Mother Should Know
Call Me, I’m Dying
Killing Mum
