The Detective
The Detective
For 150 years, women have been going missing.
And all of the investigators who went in search of them - from 1877 to the present day - have disappeared, too.
Now Sam Speedman, a most unique private detective, is on the case.
Brilliant, direct and disarming, Sam is ... different. He's not your average private detective. But then again, this isn't your average case.
For not even he will be prepared for what he will find.
Set in the darkest corners of the American South, tapping into hot-button issues that simmer beneath the surface of the modern United States, this is Matthew Reilly writing faster and bolder than ever before, bringing you a detective thriller like no other.
