From the multi-award-winning author of 17 Years Later , J. P. Pomare. Reid left the small town of Manson a decade ago, promising his former Chief of Police boss he'd never return after a very public career-ending incident. He made a new life in the city, became a PI and turned his back on the past. Now, sent by an insurance firm to look into a suspicious car crash, he finds himself back in the place he grew up. As Reid's investigation unfolds, nothing is as it seems: rumours swirl about the young woman who crashed the car, killing her professor husband, and their connection to a missing student. Soon Reid finds himself veering away from the job he has been paid to do. Will he jeopardise his new life to take on the town he ran from? ** Includes EXCLUSIVE FIRST CHAPTER of The Gambler , book 2 in the PI Vince Reid series ** 'The pay-off is criminally good . . . Pomare keeps the best surprises until last. Prepare for a late night' Sydney Morning Herald 'Captures you from page one and then barrels along with all the hallmarks of a J.P. Pomare thriller - a twisty plot, unforgettable characters and, more importantly, heart' CHRISTIAN WHITE 'Expect plenty of twists and turns in this thriller' Woman's Day 'Deftly plotted, pacey and sharply written. Twists come out of nowhere and the high drama of the final few chapters is edge-of-the-seat stuff' New Zealand Woman's Weekly 'There are tantalising echoes of Lee Child and Jack Reacher. Fresh and complex . . . delivers on every front' ArtsHub
