Clean copy...Summer's day 1981,two-year-old girl, Tamsin Hall, abducted during a picnic at the famous prehistoric site of Avebury, Wiltshire. Her Young sister Miranda was knocked down - killed by the abductor's van. One of the witnesses to this tragic event was David Umber, a Ph.D student who was waiting at the village pub to keep an appointment with a man called Griffith who claimed he could help Umber with his researches into the letters of "Junius," pseudonymous eighteenth century polemicist who was his Ph.D subject. Griffin failed to show up, Umber never heard from him again. The two-year-old, Tamsin Hall, was never seen again either. Hall family fell apart under the strain. Sally Wilkinson, - nanny, wound up living with Umber, whom she had met at the inquiry. But she never recovered from the incident, suffered increasingly from depression,eventually committed suicide....Spring- 2004, Chief Inspector George Sharp receives a letter signed "Junius" for botching investigation. Sharp confronts Umber, whose explanation for being at the scene of the tragedy has always seemed dubious. Obliged to accept Umber's denial of authorship of the letter, he nonetheless forces him to join in a search for the real culprit — and hence the long-concealed truth about what happened 23 years previously. Quest that both will later regret having embarked upon. Some mysteries are better left unsolved....Sight Unseen - Robert Goddard,Pub.

In one swift movement, the running man grabs the youngest child and carries her away. Still the man outside the pub does not react. Suddenly, awhite transit van bursts into view, its engine racing, its rear door slamming shut.The child and her abductor are inside. The child's sister rushes forward. The man outside the pub jumps up...The tragedy begins at Avebury.But it does not end there.
