Summary

A stand-alone novel based on high-profile child abductions, which have been followed by millions of concerned parents on the news. Five-year-old twins are abducted from a tent in the Lake District and the hunt for a dangerous paedophile ring begins. Police procedure follows the premise that 60% of abducted children are murdered within the first four hours of being taken. The first hour is called "The golden hour" and the longer a child is missing, the less chance there is of them being recovered unharmed. The Child Taker follows the desperate search for the missing twins.

I liked the characters and I thought the story was fast moving and credible, I read another review who said it was vulgar and I have no idea what they mean, in no way did his book strike that note, don't be put of reading this book, its good its pacey and its a book about the underworld of child abduction and I enjoyed reading it.

Good Thriller
