A highly charged crime-thriller – the first in an electrifying new series – by multi-award-winning prince of the twist, J.P. Pomare.
PI Vince Reid is visiting an old friend when he’s offered a case he can’t refuse: Why did a respected local woman open fire at a political rally, killing a promising young university graduate? It’s easy money, he’s told. A sure thing.
But as Reid delves further into the case, the stakes are higher than he imagined. There are invisible players pulling the strings. Will he walk away a winner or pay for the ultimate gamble with his life?
