Description
A desperate mum hires Nick to find her wayward teenage son.
Piece of cake, right?
That easy job drags him into darkness from his old Australian Federal Police days.
Darkness he had left behind.
Or so he thought.
Finding the kid was easy.
The rest of it almost killed him.

A quick read with plenty of action. Nick, an ex policeman working with financial crime is now a private investigator. He is asked to find a 15 year old runaway and does find him quite quickly. During this action, he glimpses a man who caused the death of his best friend 10 years ago. This leads to Nick looking into what happened and getting into a lot of trouble. Fortunately his friend is a technical wizard who saves his skin (together with Nick's girlfriend) on a couple of occasions.
I liked the writing style, to the point and no nonsense language told from Nick's point of view. The plot has a clouple of twists and is entertaining, with some humour and a fair bit of violence. The setting is Australia and you get a reasonable description of the places, seen from the POV of Nick. I look forward to reading more about Nick & Lucy and I enjoyed this book more than the previous one I had read.
Thanks to Net Galley for the ARC
