THE MAN HE USED TO BE
Five Children Vanished. Four Bodies Were Found. Twenty-Eight Years Later, Another Girl Disappears.By Maximilian C. James
Length10h 13m
About this audiobook
Twenty-eight years ago, five children vanished. Four were eventually found dead. One was never found at all.
Now another girl has disappeared.
When a man with a fractured past becomes drawn into the search, he begins recognising details he should not know and places he has no reason to remember. The deeper he digs, the more disturbing the connection becomes between the new disappearance and crimes buried for nearly three decades.
Someone knows what happened to those children. Someone survived with the truth. And finding the missing girl may mean confronting the man he used to be.
THE MAN HE USED TO BE is a dark psychological crime thriller about memory, guilt, buried identities and the terrible cost of discovering the truth.
