A young woman is found dead in her car in the hills of Auckland City. Her son is missing. Jack Slater is immediately assigned the case and begins to try and track down who would want to hurt this young mother. But things aren't a clear cut as they appear. Soon more bodies turn up. How are all these people connected? And can Jack and his team find out who is behind these murders before it's too late?
A woman is dead, worse than that, her son is missing. This is the first book I read in this series, but it is a stand-alone mystery, that readers can enjoy. The story is well written and intense enough to keep interest and make the reader keep guessing who could have committed the crimes.
