Public investigator Eric Steyn vanishes one night after Friday drinks. His body is never found. One year on, his colleagues discover his files. Was Eric’s disappearance related to the government inquiry he was working on, or to something more sinister? His workmate Frances Geller has a theory. She thinks Eric uncovered corruption on a massive scale and that someone in power had him killed. So Frances does what she does best – poring through government files and tallying up numbers. But her nemesis, the Assistant Director of Homelessness Strategies, Dr Duncan Wolf, seems determined to stop her.
Thrust into a dizzying conspiracy, Frances begins to wonder who she can trust – and if she is at risk of vanishing too. With twists and turns at every corner, this is a must-read for mystery fans from the bestselling author of The River Mouth.
