Eddie Flynn

Family feuds, booze, and bad company. Teenager Rebecca Slater's walk on the wild side has taken a downward spiral. And now she's disappeared. But her family don't seem to have noticed. Wealthy, private, dysfunctional, the Slaters deny that their daughter is missing - even as they block all attempts by Rebecca's friends to contact her. So, the friends contact a private investigator. Eddie Flynn is good at finding people. And he's good at spotting lies.

Accused of killing their daughter, the Barbers have been on the run from public opinion for two years. But the Barbers are fighting back. And if their high profile campaign to clear their name and get their baby back has made them rich that was never their intention. Meanwhile a failed prosecution hasn't dampened the media's hunger for revelations. Their investigators are on the job, moving towards an exposure that will spotlight the Barbers as the killers they are.

PI Eddie Flynn's seven-year respite is coming to an end. A killer he never expected to meet again is back. Flynn has not been near a murder scene since he was pushed out of the Metropolitan Police following a failed investigation that let a serial killer known as the Diceman go free. That was seven years ago. But now, without warning, a bizarre phone call from a new victim of the Diceman drags him right back into the cesspit where the killer - or his copycat - is waiting with a score to settle.
