Publisher's Summary

Ten-year-old Katie Blasko is missing. Detective Sergeant Ellen Destry, alert to rumours of a paedophile ring operating on the Peninsula, is thinking abduction.

Her colleagues are thinking bad family, truancy. Her boss is thinking about the media. Her partner, DI Hal Challis, is a thousand kilometres away, watching his father die, and everyone, including Ellen, is wondering whether she's good enough to handle this without him.

Great story poorly read.

I thoroughly enjoyed Disher’s story. I like his style especially the accuracy of his accounts of rural Australia. His characters are really well developed and plot lines both plausible and intriguing.
However it was as much as I could do to listen to the whole book. The reading was deplorable. Every time a character spoke they “shouted” or used a completely unrealistic accent. Surely there are better readers than this fellow.
