LOCAL GIRL MISSING

The old Victorian pier was once a thing of beauty unTl it was allowed to decay. It was where the youth of Oldcliffe-On-Sea would go to hang out. It's also where 21-year-old Sophie Collier disappeared eighteen years ago.

Francesca (Frankie) Howe was Sophie’s best friend, and even now she is haunted by the mystery of what happened to her. When Frankie gets a call from Sophie’s brother, Daniel, informing her that remains have been found washed up nearby, she immediately wonders if it could be Sophie, and returns to her old hometown to try and find closure. Now an editor at a local newspaper, Daniel believes that Sophie was terrified of someone and that her death was a result of foul play, rather than the police's claim of “death by misadventure”.
Daniel arranges a holiday let for Frankie, overlooking the pier where Sophie disappeared. In the middle of winter and out of season, Frankie feels isolated and unnerved, especially when she thinks she glimpses a woman on the pier late at night. A woman who looks like Sophie. Is the pier really haunted as they all joked years ago? Could she be seeing her friend's ghost? And what really did happen to her best friend all those years ago?
