Detective Bonnie Hunter

Bonnie Hunter is done with creeps who treat their families like possessions. Sidelined and angry after a domestic violence call-out went horribly wrong, the detective finds herself seconded to a team tasked with finding a missing young woman. According to her husband, Juliet Keller went to the grocery store and never returned. The husband demands action, but his violent outbursts and controlling behaviour have Bonnie’s family-violence radar on high alert. Convinced he’s responsible for Juliet’s disappearance, Bonnie is single-minded in her mission to disprove his story.

Mother's Day should hurt less with each passing year. For Bonnie Hunter, it only cuts deeper. The coastal bushland of her childhood is a hard place to visit at the best of times, but when two campers vanish nearby, Bonnie is dragged from her grief into a case riddled with secrets. A woman is dead, a man is missing and two families' lives have been torn apart. But is this a case of a secret affair gone wrong, or something far more sinister?
