A novel by

 
 
Joanne Egan walks into Mitchell & Associates, a private investigation agency in Staines, and asks if they will attempt to find her brother, David, who has been missing for several days. The police have opened a missing person report, but due to David being an adult they are currently going through the motions with no sense of urgency.

Laura Scott, Jim Elliott, Jerry Mitchell, and now ex-DCI Alan Porter consider the circumstances of the case and decide to take it on, because there is no apparent reason why the young man would suddenly vanish.

What appears to be a run of the mill missing person investigation is in fact an abduction. It is believed that David has stolen highly sensitive information from the casino he works for, and that a hitman has been contracted to retrieve it, and then kill him.

Laura and the team uncover the hitman’s identity, but he knows that they are involved, and the subsequent cat and mouse events become a convoluted war of attrition that leads to several deaths, prior to a final confrontation that not all of the participants will survive.
