Description
The Leveson family's story is one of unimaginable pain and perseverance. For ten years after their son Matt's disappearance in 2007, Mark and Faye Leveson searched tirelessly for answers, driven by their determination to uncover the truth. In an unprecedented move, they agreed to grant immunity from prosecution to Michael Atkins, a man accused of involvement in Matt's disappearance, in exchange for his cooperation. This deal allowed Atkins to reveal where he had buried Matt, but it also meant that Atkins claimed Matt had died of a drug overdose and wasn't murdered. The Levesons' decision was motivated by their desire to find closure and justice for their son. Through exclusive interviews with Atkins' ex-partners, lovers, and former friends, as well as the author's firsthand account of the police reinvestigation, this book offers an unsettling insight into the events surrounding Matt's disappearance. Ultimately, it is a heart-wrenching portrait of a loving family bound by their quest for justice.
