✦ Synopsis

It’s tough being a Detective Senior Sergeant in the Sex Crimes unit. DSS Stevie Hooper is fighting to balance the seamier side of being a cop with her role as a mother. And her latest case is not going to make it any easier. It starts with a deserted house, an abandoned baby and an elderly neighbour who has the answers, but cannot speak. Then the body of a woman turns up in the river – limbs bound, and a shotgun wound to the head. Soon DSS Hooper is on the trail of a human trafficking ring. A ruthless group with international connections that has at its rotten heart a disregard for all human life.

Review

"[Felicity Young is] favorably compared to the big guns Patricia Cornwell and Kathryn Fox . . . With a smart female lead and well-researched, pacy plots, it's one to get stuck into." — Scoop magazine

"Felicity Young is an intriguing new addition to the upper echelons of Australian thriller writing." — Sun Herald

"Hopefully Young will find a ready audience. She deserves it." — Good Reading

"Manages to stand on its own. . . . recommended to please any fan of Patricia Cornwall and Kathryn Fox’s work and is perfect for anyone that needs a lazy day of reading." — Australian Bookseller+Publisher
