Sacrificing Starlight

Time's running out for DCI Hunter. His wife and child are missing, perhaps even dead. Unable to pursue those responsible he has been transferred to the wild landscape of Cornwall where he must smash the local branch of an international paedophile ring. But can anyone in this remote location be trusted?

Alice Trevelyan's father has his own agenda and wants retribution for the loss of his child. When he hears that small children are being abused in a disused tin mine he metes out his own violent justice. As Hallowe'en approaches, will Trevelyan help or hinder? Hunter must make his move if he wants to save Starlight...

The villains are people we are taught to trust. They are wherever children can be found. They have respected positions in the community; from the nice old lollipop man who helps us cross the street to teachers, clerics, policemen, lawyers, judges. They have to be caught. There is no greater crime than destroying a child; body and soul.

Hunter trusts no-one - everyone's a suspect. Is he right to do that?
