A journey without end. A woman with no shame. Down that road lies only pain. Haunted by the unsolved disappearance of his wife Sarah, PI Evan Buckley loses himself in other people’s problems. But when Sarah’s scheming and treacherous friend Carly shows up promising new information, the past and present collide violently for Evan as he goes head-to-head with cold-blooded killers to track down the enigmatic Dixie for her. He knows he can’t trust her, but he hasn’t got a choice when she confesses what she’s done, leaving Sarah prey to a vicious gang with Old Testament ideas about crime and punishment. To make things worse Dixie’s brother Jackson, a man with a grievance in his heart and a home-made garrotte in his hands, takes an unhealthy interest in Evan’s exploits as the case goes from frying pan to fire in short order.
