|summary=Back in November 1998, Olivia Rutherford was driving her three friends home after a night out. As she passed through the darkly-wooded Devil's Corridor, a figure appeared in the road. Olivia swerved to avoid him and the car smashed into a tree, leaving her trapped. When she regained consciousness her three friends had disappeared. Ralph Middleton, who lived in the woods helped her before the police and ambulance arrived. But what had happened to Sally Thorne, Tamsin Cole and Hetty Riding? Their disappearance would be yet another mysterious happening in the Stafferbury area of Wiltshire. It was thought of as Avebury's poor relation.

|summary=It's late July and Deborah St James is at a meeting with Dominique Shaw, Undersecretary for the school system, a representative from the NHS, Mr Oh from Barnardos, someone from Orchid House whose name she didn't catch but would later turn out to be Zawadi and Narissa Cameron, a filmmaker. It follows on from the success of Deborah's book ''London Voices'': the meeting is an exploration of the possibility of the idea behind the book being used to highlight an area which is causing concern in some communities. Deborah's uncertain about quite how successful she could be as the problem seems to occur in Nigerian and Somali communities as she relies on getting the trust of the people she speaks to and photographs.

~~|genre=Crime~~

|summary=The disappearance of Metropolitan police firearms officer, Jonah Colley's young son, Theo, just about finished him, particularly as he blamed himself for what had happened. He'd fallen asleep in the park whilst Theo was playing and when he woke, Theo had gone. It cost him his marriage and his home. Ten years later he's largely come through it and he's out with his team when he gets a phone call from DS Gavin McKinney. Gavin used to be his best friend but it's a long time since they've spoken. He's obviously in some difficulty now - Jonah can hear it in his voice - and he asks Jonah to meet him at Slaughter Quay. ''There's no one else I can trust'', he says.
