Silent Child

He holds all the answers, but he’ll never tell the truth. In the summer of 2006, Emma Price watched helplessly as her six-year-old son’s red coat was fished out of the River Ouse. It was the tragedy of the year. Ten years later, Emma has finally rediscovered the joy in life. She’s married, pregnant and in control again… until her son comes back. Too traumatised to speak, Aiden’s return raises endless questions with no answers to be found. Only his body tells the story of his decade-long disappearance. The historic broken bones and injuries cast a mere glimpse into the horrors Aiden has experienced. But despite his silence, one horrific truth can’t be ignored: Aiden didn’t vanish, he was taken. As Emma tries to reconnect with her now teenage son, her once reclaimed joy quickly begins to give away to paranoia and suspicion. Who, in their tiny village, could be capable of such a crime?
