From Australiaโs most exciting new crime-writing talent comes an โoutstanding . . . gripping and violentโ thriller starring a deaf PI who is โoriginal and appealingโ (The Guardian)
Caleb Zelic canโt hear you, but he sees everything. And he never forgets a face.
Caleb Zelic's childhood friend has been brutally murderedโfingers broken, throat slitโat his home in Melbourne. Tortured by guilt, Caleb vows to track down the killer. But he's profoundly deaf; missed words and misread lips can lead to confusion, and trouble.
Fortunately, Caleb knows how to read people; a sideways glance, an unconvincing smile, speak volumes. When his friend Frankie, a former cop, offers to help, they soon discover the killer is on their tail.
Sensing that his ex-wife may also be in danger, Caleb insists they return to their hometown of Resurrection Bay. But here he learns that everyoneโincluding his murdered friendโis hiding something. And the deeper he digs, the darker the secrets . . .
