'A detective investigates a seemingly impossible crime
'When Jennifer Parkes’s husband, Brian, disappears one rainy night, her world is torn apart.
'After years of fruitless searching, she gives up hope and gets on with her life – raising her daughter and building a successful fashion brand.
'Yet eighteen years later, out of the blue, Brian’s body is found right around the corner. He looks no older and he’s wearing the same rain-soaked clothes, although the weather has been fine for weeks. It’s as if he’s just stepped out of the past and been hit by a car.
'Indefatigable detective Neil Lachlan, recently moved to homicide, takes on the case. But he has his hands full with the investigation of a serial killer targeting joggers on Sydney’s streets.
'Could Brian’s disappearance all those years ago be the key to catching him? Or will Jennifer and her daughter’s need to know the truth add a cruel twist to the story?' (Publication summary)
