The Disappeared (Coroner #2)

The second thrilling installment in Matthew Hall's gripping, twice CWA Gold Dagger-nominated Coroner Jenny Cooper series. Soon to be a CBC Television Original Drama, Coroner, starring Serinda Swan, Roger Cross, and Ehren Kassam. Two missing students. One sinister cover-up. Two young British students, Nazim Jamal and Rafi Hassan, vanish without a trace. The police tell their parents that the boys had been under surveillance - and that it's likely they left the country to pursue their dangerous new ideals. Seven years later, Nazim's grief-stricken mother is still unconvinced. Jenny Cooper is her last hope. Jenny is finally beginning to settle into her role as Coroner for the Severn Valley. The ghosts of her past that threatened to topple her have been banished to the sidelines once more. But as the inquest into Nazim's disappearance gets underway, the stink of corruption and conspiracy becomes clear. As the pressure from above increases, a code of silence is imposed on the inquest and events begin to spiral out of all control, pushing Jenny to breaking point. How could she know that by unravelling the mysteries of the disappeared, she would begin to unearth her own buried secrets?
