Desley James struggled in the arms of a strong male, desperate to escape and enter the house in front of her. But the man holding her back was a firefighter, and the house she wanted to go to was burning down. She was distraught - her best friend Laura Noble was in there, on her own; they had spent the evening together at Desley's home, having a girl's night with a few drinks and laughs as Laura's partner, Ryan Moore was away on business, not due back until the following day. Now it seemed her best friend was dead.But upon investigation, the body found inside the house was male - it also couldn't possibly be Ryan. So where were Laura and Ryan? It seemed they had vanished, and now there were more questions than answers. With Desley desperate for answers into the disappearance of her best friend, she began to investigate Laura's background. Desley was a web designer, and it so happened that she was currently designing a website for a private investigator, Fergus Coleman - so together they decided to dig deeper....With the police at a standstill in the investigation, suddenly Desley found herself in danger. Threatening emails arrived, her house was broken into, her ex-husband was harassing her - with the clock racing, another death, an attack - would Desley and Fergus find Laura before it was too late? Or was she already dead, and would it be her body they would find? What were the secrets someone would go to any lengths to stop being uncovered?I loved this book! The second of Aussie author Vicki Tyley and I'm so glad I found her books. The pace was intense with twists everywhere, and the ending shocked me as I definitely hadn't seen it coming. A fantastic mystery suspense which I have no hesitation in recommending highly.
