For 150 years, women have been vanishing, and every investigator who’s gone looking has disappeared too. Now Sam Speedman, a most unusual private detective, takes on the case that has swallowed generations before him. Brilliant, direct and disarmingly different, Sam soon finds himself drawn into the swamps and shadows of the American South, where something old and terrible waits to be uncovered.
In The Detective, Matthew Reilly brings his trademark pace and cinematic flair to a haunting mystery laced with Southern gothic tension. Equal parts thriller and dark fable, it’s a tale of courage, obsession and the danger of chasing truth too far.
