Missing
Not yet published
Expected 1 Feb 26When a woman disappears, a homeless man is the only person who can find her.
On a cold Manchester night, Victor Mitchum and his loyal-ish dog witness something they were never meant to see. Living on the streets has made Victor good at watching people—which is exactly why private investigator Kasper Dąbrowski recruits him to help find a missing woman.
But as Victor watches from the shadows, he realises he has stumbled into something far more dangerous. Working alongside Kasper and his sister, Victor discovers he’s not just tracking kidnappers—he’s watching killers. And now they know someone is watching them.
With time running out for their victims, Victor must rally his unlikely allies—the forgotten people of Manchester’s streets—in a desperate fight for survival. But in a city where the powerful prey on the vulnerable, can a man society has chosen to ignore become the hero these families need?

Review of advance copy
This was my AFR choice and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This is different to any Mystery books I have read before. The characters are very likeable. I LOVE the rapport between Victor and Oscar (if you've ever had a dog, you'll know what I'm on about). There are lots of moments which made me smile/chuckle but there's also some fast paced action going on that gave me palpitations! It didn't take me too long to read and even when I wasn't reading it (e.g. taking my dog out for a walk) I would be thinking about it. The only slight about it are a few spelling mistakes BUT I'm still giving it 5 stars.

Not my normal book
Not my usual genre of book. But from the moment I started i couldn't stop reading it and did it in one day. I loved having a dog feature in it. It gripped you from start to finish.
Looking forward to reading more in this series.
