Description
Is Karen Hart's latest investigation a routine missing persons case-or part of a dark conspiracy?
Detective Karen Hart is finally getting her life back on track-enjoying her new relationship and dealing with the grief in her past. Then someone from her counselling group asks for help locating a missing friend, Phoebe Woodrow, who went out partying and never came home.
Karen wonders if Phoebe's disappearance might be related to a recent spate of women having their drinks spiked. As she digs deeper, she finds out that Phoebe's work in medical research involved a shifty alliance with Quentin Chapman, a menacing local gangster-but it was also about to make her a fortune. Did Phoebe know too much? Or was it professional jealousy that put her life at risk?
Chapman makes it very clear that he doesn't appreciate the police looking over his shoulder. As his threats start to hit close to home, Karen will need to face her worst fears-but can she really do that when her job has already cost her so much?
