FOR FANS OF SHARON BOLTON AND PETER SWANSON COMES ANOTHER GRIPPING READ FROM THE AUTHOR OF EYES LIKE MINE.
Nora Watts is being hunted . . .
When Nora Watts is approached by a man claiming to know her late father, she is thrown into turmoil. Struggling with the imminent death, from cancer, of her friend and mentor Sebastian Crow, she is unprepared for the memories that this encounter brings back. What happened to her father that made him kill himself and abandon Nora and her sister?
Heading to Detroit to try and find some answers about his life there, Nora expects to discover a reason behind his suicide. Instead, she finds more questions than answers.
But trouble always follows Nora, and it's found her in Detroit, a city that is as broken as she is.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Canadian author Kamal's disappointing sequel to 2017's The Lost Ones, danger looms when a mysterious stranger approaches Vancouver research assistant Nora Watts who barely survived her last case, involving the kidnapping of the now-teenage daughter she gave up for adoption at birth. The man claims to have served with her late father, Sam Watts, as a Marine in Lebanon and hints that there might be more to learn about his suicide. Soon Nora is headed for her father's hometown of Detroit, where her initial inquiries uncover little about Sam, but do offer a tantalizing lead about someone else the mother whose face she has never even seen. Meanwhile, back on the other side of the border, Nora's frenemy, PI Jon Brazuca, is also swimming into treacherous waters as he investigates an ostensibly unrelated case: the death by overdose of a billionaire's pregnant mistress. Kamal demonstrates a knack for putting her kick-ass heroine in harm's way, repeatedly, but unfortunately shows considerably less skill at crafting a coherent plot.
Customer Reviews
Loved it
'It all falls down' is a great book, that follows the complex main character, Nora in her mysterious and seemingly hopeless search for answers to her biological fathers death, and Brazuca her AA sponser/private detective trying to turn over a new leaf. It was well wrote, I loved every part of it, and it just kept getting better and better. The characters were well developed with plenty of their own issues to make this a real page turner. There were so many twists and tales im the plot, that I couldn't help but read on. I hope there'll be a sequel to this book, I want to read more about the characters, and more from the author, I would definitely recommend this book to a friend, fantastic read!
