About this audiobook

Two graduate students fall in love; one goes missing....

In the year 2000, Peter Andrassy is heartbroken by the murder of his wife. Widowed for a year and hoping to mend his broken heart, the former NYC detective has returned to his home country of Hungary to work as a private investigator when he’s contacted by an American graduate student who is desperate to find his missing British girlfriend.

A gifted interrogator, Peter senses the boyfriend is intentionally withholding information. Could it be related to sex trafficking? Young women, often foreign, disappear daily in the capital city, never to be seen again. The clock is ticking, and the case is growing cold.

Can Peter find Samantha before it’s too late?

Ratings and reviews

I listen to a lot of audiobooks but almost never fiction. I had heard positive reviews about the book and author. I was not disappointed. I expected to take a week or more to fit it in. I was done in a day and a half because I did want to stop listening, even when I had stuff to do. Although this is or a typical type of book for me, I will certainly follow DJ and whatever else he does. Well done.

I love this book! Can't wait for more.
