About this ebook
Traffic officer Adrian Cole is not supposed to be investigating murder. But when a young woman vanishes after leaving a crowded waterfront cafe and an unidentified body turns up on Calder Lane, he cannot stop seeing the case through the eyes of a father. His own daughter, Lily, is slipping further from his daily life, and the thought that another woman's child could disappear into Seabridge without anyone finding out what happened becomes impossible to ignore. A distinctive tattoo, a borrowed jacket, and details that do not fit the official assumptions draw Adrian into questions that belong to Homicide. The more he looks, the more the city reveals a pattern hidden beneath its sunny coastal surface. Someone is choosing vulnerable women, moving carefully through places where cameras are absent and strangers are expected, and learning how to make a victim vanish before anyone understands they are missing. Adrian's unofficial search brings him into contact with sex workers, pathologists, detectives, old cases, and people who would prefer a traffic cop to stay in his lane. Meanwhile, the killer is refining his methods and discovering that murder can become more than revenge. It can become appetite. As the evidence begins connecting one disappearance to another, Adrian risks his job, his fragile relationship with Lily, and eventually his safety to follow a trail others have overlooked. Seabridge is full of ghosts, but they are not supernatural. They are the women no one found in time, and Adrian is running out of chances to keep another name from joining them.
