A missing man. A desperate daughter. And a killer who just got started.
When Ellie Connor returns from a business trip to the news that her father has vanished, she knows in her gut something bad has happened. Self-made business tycoon, Jack Bannerman, isn't the type to take time out but that's exactly what his wife and his trusted advisors believe. Even Ellie's estranged husband - who was Jack's last known contact - steps into the CEO role as if nothing untoward is going on.
Ellie begins her own search for Jack, shocked at the discovery of a dark past which challenges everything she believed about him and the company, including the charity foundation she heads up. She reluctantly reaches out to Detective Ben Rossi from Missing Persons. They share a difficult history and he has no love for Jack but after receiving a terrifying, anonymous warning to back off, Ellie is running out of options.
When a body is found at sea, suspicion turns to those closest to Jack. Somebody will go to any length to cover up their crimes.
And who to trust may mean the difference between life and death for Ellie.
