The Boy in the River
- Default Title
Description
Unable to identify the victim, police turned to Richard Hoskins, a young professor of theology with a profound understanding of African tribal ritual and religion, whose own past was scarred by heartbreaking tragedy. Thus began a journey into the tangled undergrowth of one of the most notorious murder cases of recent years; a case which would reveal the horrific truth about child trafficking, abuse, and even murder.
Insightful and grippingly written, The Boy in the River is both an inside account of a series of extraordinary criminal investigations and a compelling personal quest into the dark heart of humanity.
The Boy in the River is a Sunday Times Top Ten and Amazon UK No.1 bestseller. In 2013 it won the prestigious Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger.
