Publisher Description
When Private Investigator Kate Marshall is rushed to hospital after being pulled into a riptide current in the sea, the near-death experience leaves her shaken. During her recovery, she befriends Jean, an elderly lady on the same ward. Jean tells the harrowing story of how her three-year-old grandson, Charlie, went missing 10 years ago during a camping trip on Dartmoor.
By the time Kate is well enough to go home, she's agreed to take on the case, but when Kate and her trusty sidekick, Tristan, start to look at the events of that fateful night, they discover that Jean has a dark past that could have put Charlie in jeopardy.
Was Charlie abducted? Or did he fall into Devil's Way, a rushing river that vanishes into a gorge close to where they were camping?
When Kate and Tristan discover that a social worker who flagged concerns about Jean and her daughter was found brutally murdered shortly after Charlie vanished, it makes them question everything they thought they knew about the family....
Filled with twists and turns, Devil's Way is the fourth Kate Marshall novel and the most gripping and satisfying yet!

Novel of Suspense
"Devil's Way" is the fourth "Kate Marshall, Private Investigations" mystery from Robert Bryndza.
Well, Kate has had a really, really terrible day; after a near-death experience she's ended up recuperating in hospital where she hears the story of Jean's 3-year-old grandson who disappeared one night 11 years ago. And Jean wants her, Kate, to investigate as she's never really reconciled that young Charlie is dead (even though they had a legal declaration of death registered).
After a series of revelations regarding the sequence of events that led up to the disappearance as well as some iffy investigations and dead ends, Kate and Tristan are plunged into a full-scale investigation, though hampered by the fact that they don't have much to go on.
But thanks to a couple of coincidences (Tristan's friend, Ade, was part of the investigation), and some deep digging into the circumstances, they begin to circle the truth and fight their way to a conclusion that they never saw coming.
Can be read as a standalone (there is enough character background rehash) or as part of the series. Recommended.
