BLURB:
For the past three
years, young prostitutes and destitute women have been vanishing without trace.
Their fates unknown, the only common links to their disappearances are their
good looks and prison records.
Never before has a cop
been taken.
Detective Billie McCoy,
a member of an elite undercover squad, is on assignment when she stumbles onto
a slavery racket that goes deeper than she could ever have imagined. Plunged
into a web of corruption and evil, not only does she have to contend with the
slave traders, but her fellow prisoners – all who hate cops.
Stretching from the
streets of Sydney to the rainforests in far north Queensland, it’s a race
against time. Filled with determination, disappointment and twists, the story
follows Billie’s fight for freedom and her greatest ever challenge. She will
need all her cunning and skill to get out alive and see justice done.
Blood will be spilt,
hopes will be destroyed – all to uncover a plot so unpredictable that only fate
can decide . . . .
The guy on the left of the fat man carried a scar down his right
cheek. His hair was slicked back out of his face, leaving the dark, distrusting
eyes in clear view. The third guy, a curly-haired blond, was shorter yet
bulkier than his comrade. He stared with a blank expression set on his bristled
face, clearly expressing his dislike. They stood protectively by their boss's
side, like dogs on a leash waiting for a command to please their master.
The little, fat man's gaze remained locked on the blonde girl in front of him. "My God."
His astonished tone snapped Billie's attention back to him. She looked more closely, sensing something familiar about him. Her nerves stiffened. Suddenly, she knew.
"Bates?" The name slipped through her lips before she could stop it. She'd failed to identify him in that first brief glimpse. The bright clothes and menacing conditions engulfing the tense situation had thrown her. He looked so different, and so out of place. She'd met this guy a couple of times, and both times he'd been dressed in a full suit, tie and all - back in police headquarters. So why would Captain Bates, head of Missing Persons, be here? Why would he be interested in this girl, especially in a place like this? And what was this well-respected police officer doing with these henchmen? Slowly, she stood, not taking her eyes off him.
"What's going on here?" The young cop took a step towards him.
"Ahh, what a pity, a sure pity." He sighed. His hand reached in through the open neck of his shirt and pulled a pistol out from under it. He dropped it to waist level, aiming at her chest. His tone may have held some remorse, but his actions didn't.
