About the Book
Growing, growing, gone...Book Synopsis
Growing, growing, gone...Penrith, in the heart of the Lake District, is not the kind of place you can easily vanish.
Certainly not when the members of the Penrith Bingo Club are trying to track you down. But even stalwart sleuth, Amita Khatri, and her son in law, Jason, are foxed this time when a local woman tells them her husband, a mild-mannered academic has gone missing.
And he's not the only person to disappear. Soon Amita, Jason, and irascible retired copper, Frank, are searching for more people - and some missing money to boot.
From the veg patches of Penrith to the shores of Ullswater, as Jason and Amita comb the Cumbrian countryside for clues, they soon realise they've stumbled a case where planting the evidence takes on a whole new meaning. And unless they can unearth some answers soon, they might be the next people to disappear...
