When a woman secretly follows a suspicious man onto an airfield, she expects to uncover something she can use against him. Instead, she is drugged, forced aboard a small plane, and suddenly finds herself at the centre of a terrifying crime.
For DS Dave Slater and DS Norman Norman, the investigation quickly becomes a race against time. The evidence points towards a disappearance that may have ended in murder, but the deeper they dig, the more complicated the case becomes. International connections, dangerous criminals, conflicting witness statements, and a missing woman whose true identity is suddenly in question all stand between the detectives and the truth.
And then an even more troubling possibility emerges: what if the woman everyone believes to be a victim was involved in the crime herself?
Slater refuses to let an uncomfortable theory become an excuse to stop asking questions. But with the investigation under pressure and the truth slipping further away, even the detectives cannot be certain who is telling the truth.
A fast-moving British crime mystery filled with suspicion, danger, and an ending that leaves one crucial question unanswered.
