Shadow Of Deception : A Missing Man. A Staged Ransom. A Truth Far Darker Than Money.

Rate this book
Graham Martin leaves for his usual morning ride. He never returns.

No crash. No witnesses. Just an abandoned bike, a bloodless scene, and a Bitcoin demand that feels more like theatre than threat.

Back from sabbatical, DI Suzy Hunter is thrown straight into the deep end. The wife's composure is clinical. The demand is slick, calculated-yet something about it doesn't fit.

As Suzy and her team dig deeper-canvassing witnesses, chasing finanacial records, embedding an FLO with the family-dark threads begin to surface; a stalker from the past, a hand marked analogue map, and a stack of life insurance policies Martin never signed.

This wasn't random.

And it isn't about the money.

Taut, authentic, and steeped in real-world police work, Shadow Of Deception is a high-stakes thriller where every lead could become the last chance to save a man who was never meant to come home.
