Description

'A mazey delight of a mystery ...' - Ian Rankin

When deaf PI Caleb Zelic finds one of his clients murdered, it's a bad day; when he discovers the man was a federal cop, it's the beginning of a nightmare.

Against his better judgement, Caleb is drawn into the investigation. Soon he finds himself mixed up with his crooked ex-partner Frankie and the fallout from a money laundering scheme gone wrong. Then Frankie's nine-year-old niece is kidnapped.

Desperate to save the girl's life, they follow every lead. But the trail will end in death, betrayal and an agonising choice...
