For 150 years, women have been going missing.

And all of the investigators who went in search of them - from 1877 to the present day - have disappeared, too.

Now Sam Speedman, a most unique private detective, is on the case.

Brilliant, direct and disarming, Sam is ... different. He's not your average private detective. But then again, this isn't your average case.

For not even he will be prepared for what he will find.

Set in the darkest corners of the American South, tapping into hot-button issues that simmer beneath the surface of the modern United States, this is Matthew Reilly writing faster and bolder than ever before, bringing you a detective thriller like no other.

I loved this from one of my favourite authors however the writers contempt for people in red states of USA is a pattern in his writing. As an Australian like. the author maybe he should not be so biased and next time have Sam investigate the largest human trafficking operation in history under Joe Biden and supported by the blue states of America, just a thought

Pacy read. Interesting story, interesting intersection with today’s USA, prevailing political powers, untouchable wealth, and prejudice.
