Beautiful and dramatic prose...describes the class of cultures ...in Britain rather brilliantly.

- Julie Bindel, Standpoint

It’s a gripping, disturbing narrative dealing with abduction and abuse but also love, escape and a type of redemption.

- Douglas Murray, The Spectator

An intelligent, intricate novel.

- Kate Saunders, The Times

The Disappeared is a story of our times, of kidnap and rescue, of abuse and healing. It is the story of Stephen, a teacher whose love for the pupil who shares his dreams brings him face to face with ruin; of Sharon, the child of a feckless stepmother, and her criminal abusers; of Laura, the investigative high-flyer, now faced with rape and sexual slavery; of Justin, environmentalist and Heavy Metal fan, whose obsession with Muhibbah, rescued from forced marriage, spells disaster for them both. It is the story of a police force fearful of charges of racism, and a social worker, Iona, expected to make a viable community from fragments that will not join.With dizzying speed The Disappeared uncovers the chaotic underworld of a Yorkshire city, its characters eventually stumbling across one another in a single catastrophe. A victim may bring redemption: but who will it be?

A powerful novel that foreshadows the Rotherham scandal dealing with sexual abuse, racism and kidnap in the North of England.
