WILLIAMS IS AN EXCITING NEW VOICE IN CRIME FICTION” INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR MARK BILLINGHAM
AN EXTRAORDINARY KILLER IS HELL-BENT ON DESTRUCTIONJoel Sorrell, a bruised, bad-mouthed PI, is a sucker for missing persons cases.
And not just because he’s searching for his daughter, who vanished fi ve years after his wife was murdered. Joel feels a kinship with the desperate and the damned. He feels, somehow, responsible. So when the mysterious Kara Geenan begs him to fi nd her missing brother, Joel agrees. Then an attempt is made on his life, and
Kara vanishes… A vicious serial killer is on the hunt, and as those close to Joel are sucked into his nightmare, he suspects that answers may lie in his own hellish past.
