Summary

'A phenomenal insight... a fascinating read. I couldn't put it down' Jackie Malton, author of The Real Prime Suspect

Every 90 seconds in the UK, a missing person is reported to the police.

A pioneer in the field with experience spanning four decades, Charlie Hedges' job is to work out the best way to find them. What's going on in their life? When were they last seen?

Have they chosen to go missing or is someone else involved?

With no two cases ever the same, Charlie has been involved in some of the most high-profile reports during his career with the police and as a consultant in missing cases. From the evil of abductions and trafficking to the tragic accidents of the vulnerable, Charlie has dedicated his life to developing the ways we help not just the missing, but the families and loved ones left behind.

Unique and fascinating, Missing tells Charlie's untold story of finding those who desperately need to be found and the cases that will never leave him.

Honest and personal

Wonderful account of a life well lived with purpose and belief. Accounts of personal life and career are main content however there are questions raised that the reader should answer themselves. What would you have done? Could you make a difference in your area of work and how? In an ever changing world how do we keep up with protecting ourselves and loved ones? Some very important subjects covered from a very personal perspective as well, which is good to see but must have been sad for the author to write. I really enjoyed this book, it felt like I was sitting with the author in my local and he was telling me his story.

*** Highly Recommend ***

I really enjoyed this book and couldn’t stop listening. What an amazing story of Charlie’s life and his passion for helping missing people and their families. Well done Charlie for making a difference and thank you for sharing your story with us. I hope I am never in the position of a loved one being missing but I would definitely be contacting Charlie for his help.

Overwhelming strength and commitment

I found Charlie’s account of his professional career both heartbreaking and heartwarming throughout his testimony.
Very interesting account of emotions identified alongside a need to understand and change practices and processes to improve outcomes for all. Some disturbing examples of human nature too. Didn’t want to finish as absorbing stuff
