Overview

On 21 September 2001 the mutilated torso of a small child was found floating beside London's Tower Bridge, one tide away from being swept into the North Sea. 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.
