A FATAL CRASH

A plane on route from London to New York City has disappeared out of the sky. This breaking news dominates every TV channel, every social media platform, and every waking hour of the Metropolitan Police and US Homeland Security.

A PRIVATE TRAGEDY

The love of DCI Kate Daniels’ life was on that aircraft, but she has no authority to investigate. This major disaster is outside of her jurisdiction and she’s ordered to walk away.

A SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH

But Kate can’t let it lie. She has to find out what happened to that plane – even if it means going off book. No one is safe.

And there are some very dangerous people watching her

Book Review

Without a Trace is part of a series however I found it was great as a stand-alone. A police procedural crime fiction with a great plot.

DCI Kate Daniels discovers her ex partner Jo is missing and sadly probable that she is one of the lost passengers on the missing transatlantic flight to New York. With her partner DS Hank Gormley, Kate gains a way to become part of the investigation.

The characters are written well and the author has managed to convey Kate’s feelings and emotions well as she begins her difficult investigation in finding Jo.

A great read with twists around the missing flight.

This book includes crime which at times is dark and intense.
