Description

When Sarah Kenny and John Quigley, owners of QuicK Investigation, are asked to take on a missing person case that of Slovakian immigrant Orie Kavlar, whose frantic girlfriend is due their baby any day they can use the work, but they're straining under the weight of their own problems.

Problems like the murder of Sarah's ex-boyfriend Vic. He was a dangerous psychotic, but murder is murder. And she should know. All John's efforts to help his clearly troubled partner are spurned.

With their personal relationship at a new all-time low, QuicK get on with another commonplace case of a missing boyfriend. But the trail they follow suggests something far from ordinary. Who is Orie Kavlar and why has he gone to ground That is the connection to the body of a dead girl found on waste ground in Sandyford And what is his relationship to Darren Wallace, ex-gangland criminal

In no time John and Sarah's investigations alert others to their search. People who don't take kindly to those who come sniffing around their business. And as they dig deeper into Orie Kavlar's life, one man decides he has too much to lose to allow them to continue. Sarah and John are about to be caught up in an undertow of violence that will suck them into their most perilous case yet.
