The Suspect, Fiona Barton

Reporter Kate Walters and her young protege, Joe get the scoop on a couple of missing teens courtesy of her old contact DI Bob Sparkes. The 18 year olds went on a three month backpacking tour in Thailand and haven’t posted on social media for over a week. Both sets of parents are going crazy but how well do they know their daughters?

For Kate the story has a very personal connection, her oldest is also travelling in Thailand and she hasn't seen him for over two years. A nasty twist of fate propels Kate and her family to the front page and not under her byline.
