Emma Maloney’s father is missing. DI Joe Faraday thinks he may have been murdered. But these days, a hunch is not enough. Faraday’s squad of detectives is battling with an ever-growing caseload in a city torn by violence, drug-dealing, and petty crime. Who can spare the time and resources for an investigation unsupported by hard evidence? Joe Faraday is struggling with his own demons, and finding Stuart Maloney, dead or alive, turns into a battle not simply for justice, but for sanity.

Graham Hurley is an award-winning TV documentary maker who now writes full time. He lived in Portsmouth for 20 years. He is married and has grown up children. He now lives in Exmouth, Devon.
Graham Hurley gives us a mixed portrait of Portsmouth, England, in its glorious variety--birds, time/weather charts, and the Cowes Regatta. Conversely, there is the raw and crude violence of those who live lives of poverty or crime. As DI Joe Faraday doggedly seeks a murderer, he confronts all of the city's realities. Narrator Tim Pepper is splendid delivering the novel's descriptive and varied language. He particularly excels in portraying the relationship between Faraday and his deaf son. Listeners will be satisfied by this atmospheric piece. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
