Gutsy PI Lou Alcott takes charge in this brilliantly crafted, gritty thriller. Perfect for readers of Jacqueline Bublitz, Jane Caro and Sarah Bailey.
She’s the one to turn to when you need saving. But first she has to save herself…
Lou Alcott is turning over a new leaf as a private investigator. Formerly police, she was forced to resign when she attacked a domestic violence perpetrator. She’s always vowed to be nothing like her grandfather Hamish, Melbourne’s biggest crime boss, delivering an eye for an eye, but this guy had it coming.
On her first day she draws two cases helping at-risk women. First there’s Diane Paterson, who has apparently left her husband without a word. Who should Lou believe? The charmingly distraught husband, Diane’s suspicious parents, or the freezer full of lovingly prepared food left behind?
Then a house security check for an isolated young woman who is convinced her abusive ex is stalking her again turns worrisome when she fails to show up for their meeting. Lou reports Melinda’s odd disappearance to the police but with no signs of a struggle she fears they’re not able to act quickly enough.
With her protective radar pinging, Lou keeps digging until she unearths chilling evidence that puts her in the hot seat. Suddenly Lou is embroiled in a cat-and-mouse-game where there will only be one survivor… Will Lou’s first case be her last?
