A missing girl. A cop they want gone. A case nobody wants solved.
“So gripping, I almost didn’t make it to work!” - Jane C.
Everyone is determined to call missing 11-year-old Cassie Edwards a runaway.
Everyone except her mother.
Detective Sergeant Jon Roth, the most investigated cop on the Force, exiled to a suburban cop shop basement until he retires or Internal Affairs boots him out of the job, is dragged into the case.
Roth soon finds himself wading through a tangled conspiracy of lies and deceit, with powerful people willing to kill to keep Roth from discovering what really happened to Cassie Edwards. At the same time as the Cassie Edwards case is being buried, another missing teen is the keen focus of wall-to-wall media attention when the sixteen-year-old daughter of wealthy Eastern Suburbs parents also goes missing.
Are the cases connected? Is some serial kidnapper at work? Or is something darker lurking in the city's underbelly?
DS Jon Roth risks everything for the truth about missing 11-year-old Cassie Edwards—his job, his family, even his own life—but in this case, he might just realise that some mysteries are best left unsolved.
