Still affected by a family tragedy, Luke takes a position with a private company, expecting a low-pressure role. When a woman accused of taking bribes disappears, he is tasked with leading a hastily assembled team to investigate. What initially appears to be a straightforward disappearance becomes increasingly complex. One woman is found dead, another remains missing, and Luke's team struggles under mounting pressure. The investigation reveals a killer who consistently stays ahead of their pursuit. Set in Bath and the Somerset countryside, this novel combines humor, sharp dialogue, and gritty realism. It is the first book in the Luke Sackville Crime Thrillers series.
