AN IMPOSSIBLE DISAPPEARANCE

Just before the crash, Cate and Aiden Gascoigne are recorded on CCTV. The couple are laughing, happy.

Then their car plunges into a ninety-foot ravine.

Within seconds, the vehicle is an inferno - and the Gascoignes are trapped inside. But when fire crews arrive, they find something impossible.

The vehicle is empty.

Cate and Aiden have vanished.

A NOTORIOUS MURDER

Missing persons investigator David Raker is hired by Cate's family to find out what happened.

But this is a mystery that won't easily give up its secrets.

As Raker links Cate and Aiden's disappearance to an unsolved thirty-year-old murder, he doesn't realise he's set something terrible in motion . . .

WHAT CONNECTS THEM IS TERRIFYING

. . . and it will bring him and his ally, former detective Colm Healy, into the crosshairs of a killer like no other.
