Overview

For seven years, a boy from Winchester College bought lunch every weekday for Jock McGovern, a homeless man living beneath the Buttercross. Then one day, the boy stopped coming. No one will tell Jock where Hugo Marquess has gone. His parents are assured he is ""receiving support"". The school insists safeguarding procedures are in place. The police say there is no crime to investigate. But Jock knows when something is wrong. As he begins asking questions no one wants answered, Jock uncovers a system built not to protect children, but to erase them - coded transfers, hidden facilities, and safeguarding procedures that look disturbingly like detention. The closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous his search becomes. Gripping, unsettling, and disturbingly plausible, The Buttercross Boy is a novel about the harm hidden behind respectable institutions - and how some stories survive only because someone refuses to stop paying attention.
