# The Search by Howard Linskey (Paperback)

**Someone knows where the bodies are buried...**

**Little Susan Verity went missing during the heatwave of 1976.** An unprecedented amount of police resource went into finding her, but to no avail. **Until now.**

**Convicted serial killer Adrian Wicklow was always the prime suspect.** In the past, he's repeatedly lied to the police about where Susan's body is buried - playing a sick game from behind bars.

**But this time, he says, he'll tell the truth. Because Adrian Wicklow is dying.**

Detective Ian Bradshaw works with investigative journalists Helen Norton and Tom Carney to find the body. However, this is Wicklow's life's work. **Would a murderer on death's door give up his last secret so easily...?**
