A highly charged crime-thriller - the first in an electrifying new series - by multi-award-winning prince of the twist, J.P. Pomare.

PI Vince Reid is visiting an old friend when he's offered a case he can't refuse: Why did a respected local woman open fire at a political rally, killing a promising young university graduate? It's easy money, he's told. A sure thing.

But as Reid delves further into the case, the stakes are higher than he imagined. There are invisible players pulling the strings. Will he walk away a winner or pay for the ultimate gamble with his life?

PRAISE FOR THE THRILLERS OF J.P. POMARE, including The Wrong Woman and 17 Years Later:

'There's no better storyteller in the thriller game than Pomare' COURIER MAIL

'Shocking, twisty and impossible to put down' CHRISTIAN WHITE
