Detective Bec Whitfield thought she'd found paradise in tropical Mission Beach?and maybe even love with charming local developer Jake Morrison. But when a three-year-old girl vanishes from a bush track and construction work in the town centre uncovers skeletal remains in concrete, Bec finds herself leading two investigations that will test everything she believes about her new home.
When Senior Detective Todd Davenport arrives to assist, his approach forces Bec to examine details she's missed?including questions about people she trusts. Is Jake protecting someone, or is Bec's judgment clouded by feelings she shouldn't have let develop?
With a cyclone bearing down and evacuation orders imminent, Bec must untangle decades of secrets while a child's life hangs in the balance. In a small town where everyone knows everyone, the most dangerous person is often the one you never suspect.
Perfect for fans of Jane Harper and Candice Fox.
