THE WEEPING GIRL-------pan macmillan
A community is left reeling after a teacher – Arnold Maager – is
convicted of murdering his female pupil Winnie Maas. It seems the girl
had been pregnant with Maager’s child.
Years later, on her eighteenth birthday, Maager’s daughter Mikaela
finally learns the terrible truth about her father. Desperate for
answers, Mikaela travels to the institution at Lejnice, where Maager has
been held since his trial. But soon afterwards she inexplicably
vanishes.
Detective Inspector Ewa Moreno from the Maardam Police is on holiday in
the area when she finds herself drawn into Mikaela’s disappearance. But
before she can make any headway in the case, Maager himself disappears –
and then a body is found. It will soon become clear to Ewa that only
unravelling the events of the past will unlock this dark mystery . . .
