Publisher's Synopsis
In the shadowed depths of Tasmania, Detective Karl Jenkins disappears, leaving a single question that ripples through Hobart's police ranks: where does loyalty end and conspiracy begin? As Sergeant Alexander Stout digs into the intricate connections between Jenkins, the elusive Luke Smith, and the powerful Jeffries family, he discovers that his investigation has been bound by forces far beyond his control. Faced with powerful figures and sealed files, Stout must navigate a murky web of ambition, secrets, and control, where every revelation pushes the truth further from reach, casting Karl's fate-and Stout's own-into a darkness few dare confront.
