"A killer is on the loose..."
The quiet tourist town of Cabarita Beach has been rocked by a series of grisly murders. 5 women dead, all with the same M.O. - black, strung-out prostitutes.
But Detective Jack Creed is thrown for a loop when the latest body doesn't meet the victim criteria - a male, no history of drug use or prostitution - and the case suddenly stalls. No more leads, expenses over-budget and under-staffed, something needs to be done.
With the locals scared and his back against the wall, Detective Creed must make something happen soon before more people turn up dead. And then there's Jo...
With the local legend of her hero father looming over her shoulder, Jo Boston-Wright has her work cut out for her. She's has no homicide experience but Creed is desperate to find able bodies. With an exhausted team and the chief superintendent expecting immediate results, Creed needs a win and he needs it fast.
Jo is eager to prove that she can get the job done. She'll do whatever it takes to gain the respect of her teammates and make her father proud...
After weeks with no leads, Jo finds clues that reveal an unexpected and lethal suspect. Quickly finding herself in a deadly psychological thriller of cat and mouse, Jo must match wits with a cold and calculating menace.
But when Jo finds a piece of information that completely blows the lid off the case, does the team have all they need to catch the killer? Or will the murderer slip from their grasp once again?
