'The book that you do not want to end yet cannot wait to finish reading - all at the same time!' Real reader review

'Exciting story, loved it' Real reader review

'Fantastic crime/police procedural' Real reader review

Newly promoted Detective Superintendent Jack Hawksworth has headed up three major serial operations in England and in each of these cases he has lost a part of himself. Then, while on sabbatical as guest lecturer in a London university, one of his female students dies under highly suspicious circumstances, and he finds himself drawn into a chilling new case that reaches across the world.

Jack's investigations lead him to Australia, where he identifies a cynical international crime consortium that preys on the anguish of childless couples and vulnerable women. Together with local major crime officers, he follows his leads to a windswept coast, and becomes caught up in an intoxicating private drama.

With his personal and professional business entangled once again, Jack must put his own life on the line to bring justice to those who are grieving.
