APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This is a fast-paced debut from bestselling thriller author Owen Mullen, and a nicely tense introduction to private investigator Charlie Cameron. From the first chapters, it’s evident Mullen has created a complex and deep character, supported by an ensemble cast of intriguing characters. Two young parents, Mark and Jen, enlist the help of Cameron after their 13-month old daughter is abducted on the beach. Cameron is reluctant to get involved in missing children cases, but thanks in part to long-repressed guilt from childhood, he can’t resist the case.
