Detective Constable Ash Henderson has a dark secret...
Five years ago his daughter, Rebecca, went missing on the eve of her thirteenth birthday. A year later the first card arrived: home-made, with a Polaroid picture stuck to the front â Rebecca, strapped to a chair, gagged and terrified. Every year another card: each one worse than the last.
The tabloids call him âThe Birthday Boyâ. Heâs been snatching girls for twelve years, always just before their thirteenth birthday, killing them slowly, then torturing their families with his homemade cards.
But Ash hasnât told anyone what really happened to Rebecca â they all think she ran away â because if anyone finds out, heâll be taken off the investigation. And heâs sacrificed too much to give up before his daughterâs murderer gets what he deserves...
