Layer by layer, he was stripping away her identity, her dignity, her sanity. Already she could barely remember who she’d been before she was abducted. Soon all that would be left of her was an empty husk with no will of its own. Melinda has been missing for weeks. The police would normally be all over it, but Melinda is a prostitute. Women in that line of work change addresses like they change lipstick. She probably just moved on. Staci is determined not to let Melinda become just another statistic added to the long list of girls who’ve gone missing over the years. Staci is also a prostitute – although not for much longer if Detective Reece Geary has anything to do with it. Reece will do anything to win Staci’s love. If that means putting his job on the line by launching an unofficial investigation, then so be it. Detective Jim Monahan is driven by his own dangerous obsession. He’s on the trail of a psychopath hiding behind a mask of respectability. Jim’s investigation has already taken him down a rabbit hole of corruption and depravity. He’s about to discover that the hole goes deeper still. Much, much deeper... From the number one Amazon Chart bestselling author, comes the unputdownable third book in this investigative crime thriller series. Join Detective Jim Monahan on a journey into the sordid underbelly of society, where villains come from all walks of life, and the law doesn't always equate to justice. What Amazon and Goodreads readers are saying about Ben Cheetham's books'Terrifyingly awesome. Gritty, sad, powerful, funny and everything in-between.''I read A LOT, and I am rarely compelled to write a review. This book had me hooked. I audibly gasped at one point. The characters are developed so well I felt personally connected to them. Great read!''Nail biter! You will read the last page saying “Oh my God”. I can’t say enough how great this series is and wish there were more than three books!''The best yet by Ben Cheetham! Tangled plot lines and familiar characters from other books make this one almost impossible to put down! I had to parcel it out slowly because I didn't want it to end, but I sped through it anyway.''An absolutely stunning story. This is a very graphic read but worth every word. The main detective is relentless in his pursuit of justice.''My new favorite author. Great book. Stays in your head. This is the second book in the series and though I am at times a skimmer, I don’t dare skim this author's books. Every page is full of meat. Just when you think a certain character is going to make it, they don’t.''Fantastic. Ben Cheetham is amazing! You never know where the story will take you. The characters are so human... at times good and bad. This book blew me away, especially the ending!'
