He chances upon a girl who tells him an extraordinary story of kidnap and murder. But is she telling the truth? Gradually, reluctantly, and against his friends’ advice, the man is drawn deeper and deeper into a strange and deadly plot until he arrives at the heart of the mystery...*THERE WAS AND THERE WASN’T is a spellbinding new crime novel from the author of THE PAST IS NEVER CLOSED and THE INDIRECTIONS.
