The Hiking Trip
Postscript summary
Don't trust everyone you meet here...A young British backpacker goes missing on the West Coast Trail.
No one is sure whether she died or simply disappeared.
Apart from Laura.
Twenty years later, a body has been found.
And there's only one person who could reveal the secret that Laura's been hiding all this time.
But she knows that two can keep a secret.
IF ONE OF THEM IS DEAD.
A tense and suspenseful thriller perfect for fans of M.J. Ford and Susi Holliday.
