About this listen

A married couple launch a deadly plan to find their missing child.

A half-dead man washes up on a Los Angeles beach.

A rookie cop is fired on her first day.

Ryan and Elsie Delaney don't accept the official line that their young daughter drowned on Santa Monica beach. Her body has never been found and their pleas for a proper investigation are rejected.

So now the desperate pair are raining hellfire on the police.

Taking three hostages at the Hertzberg-Davis Forensic Science Center, they give law enforcement an ultimatum: if Tilly isn't located in the next 24 hours, they will destroy evidence in several major cases.

Detective Charlie Hoskins only just survived five years embedded with the ruthless gang known as the Death Machines. All his work is in that lab. If the police won't look for Tilly, he will. Even if that means accepting help from Lynette Lamb, the rookie officer sacked for blowing his cover - and having him thrown to the sharks.

Finding Tilly is now a matter of life and death - for the Delaneys, for their hostages, for Charlie and Lamb, and for the little girl who one day simply vanished...

"One of Australia's finest new gen crime writers." (Sue Turnbull, Sydney Morning Herald)

Loved the character development, story had great twists and turns, really good pace. I thought the narrator sounded a bit ‘automated’ at first, but I slowed down the narration speed a little and it was so much better. Hope there will be a sequel to this book as I loved the character interaction.

Another great book from this author.

So much going on, so many little twists and turns and an ending that I didn’t expect. This book kept me guessing from the first chapter to the last. I can highly recommend it!

If you are a fan of Candice Fox, this one is not going to disappoint. Great characters, real and thought provoking storyline and loads of breathtaking twists and turns. The voice actor has done an amazing job to give all of the characters their own personality and I was mesmerised the whole way through. Well done.
Not a Candice fox fan? Get on board and start with this one. You have a bit of catching up to do.

Well written and narrated. Can a rookie cop and an ex undercover cop who join forces find a child that's been missing for 2 years in a day, before her parents destroy the DNA lab.
