What would you sacrifice to find your missing son? Solomon Gray is about to find out...
"A stunning book and a new series that has become a must read."
M.W. Craven, Sunday Times Bestselling author of the Washington Poe series
"... deeply emotional, a dark rollercoaster ride."
Ed James
When the lifeless body of sixteen-year-old Nick Buckingham is found at the foot of an apartment block, Detective Sergeant Solomon Gray is thrust into a relentless pursuit for answers. When what appears to be a straightforward case of suicide takes a dark turn as Gray discovers his own phone number saved in the victim's mobile. Yet the two of them have never met before... Haunted by the memory of his own missing son, Gray soon becomes consumed by the need to unearth the truth. As he delves deeper into the investigation, the dark underbelly of deceit and corruption reveals itself, entangling Gray in a treacherous web of lies. Nothing seems connected, yet the common thread remains: Gray himself. Gray risks everything to uncover the twisted secrets hidden within the shadows. But with each step Gray takes, the personal cost rises, and the line between justice and revenge blurs, all while Gray is haunted by the possibility that his son's fate may be intertwined with the very darkness he seeks to unravel. This gripping and suspenseful high-stakes struggle will test Gray's limits and force him to face the depths of human corruption.
