Police detective Ali Barba receives an urgent letter from her estranged friend Cate. Startled by the letter's alarming tone and eager to atone for egregious past actions, Ali meets Cate at their high-school class reunion. The obviously pregnant Cate begs Ali to stop those who are trying to take her baby. But the plot takes a bizarre twist when a careening car kills Cate - and Ali discovers the truth about Cate's pregnancy.

Once into it, I came to enjoy Robotham's writing again. The story tells a grim truth about human trafficking, baby selling, and attendant ugly human realities, and a woman sikh D.C.'s effort to wind her way through the knots of a complex set of agendas.
The protagonist is both good and annoying (to me) as Robotham portrays her. She's bright, incisive, aggressive and well trained as a DC. But he wrote her into many scenes requiring too much willing suspension of disbelief for me. He has her behaving like a naively brazen provocateur of bad guys who'd likely kill her instantly. She too often assumes she will be believed and taken seriously by males in the police world, thinking they'll do the right thing, when in fact, the usual self-interest reigns supreme. This naiveté didn't work for me, but there was enough of a good story to keep me engaged.
The narrator was good in Alicia's voice, but not very skilled with male voices.
I'll keep reading Robotham, hoping for more stories with the psychologist.
Well written but not a Joe O'Loughlin book...

While Joseph O’laughlin and more recently Cyrus Haven are the main characters in his novels, (and in this novel Ali Barba), Vincent Ruiz is the best detective character in fiction, despite the fact he’s always in the role of a supporting character. He makes Ali and O’ Laughlin better in every regard.
Nevertheless, Ali Barba is a determined, if flawed detective I wish we’d hear more from in subsequent novels.
Brilliant!
