Publisher's Summary

A missing girl. A child killer on the loose. Time is running out. 

When a toddler goes missing in the middle of a bustling Bradford park in broad daylight, Detective Daniel Ward is put on the case. It ought to be an open and shut investigation, but the hours tick by, and Millie Thompson is nowhere to be found. 

There’s only one conclusion DI Ward can come to: She was taken. 

When a known child-killer is spotted in the vicinity, Ward fears the worst. Has this infamous monster struck again, right under his nose? 

He has to catch up with the only lead he has before the infamous Hunters - merciless vigilante justice seekers who will seek retribution at any cost - catch up with his suspect first. 

If they do, DI Ward may never find Millie alive again. 

Set in the diverse, beautiful, and historical city of Bradford, The Past We Run From is the first in the DI Ward crime thriller series from debut crime novelist Meg Jolly. Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, David J. Gatward, and LJ Ross. Join DI Ward today on a twisting race to solve the case.
