Description
Cliff Hardy's 39th case involves tracing lost documents related to the 1857 wreck of the SS Dunbar. This leads him into a complex web of crime and deception, as he delves into a multi-million dollar heist featuring a cast of characters with questionable motives. As Hardy digs deeper, he encounters an undercover cop, a fiercely ambitious female journalist, and a Newcastle criminal family torn apart by power struggles. The investigation takes a deadly turn when the first person Hardy interviews is shot dead, and the body count rises as he gets closer to the truth. The case explodes into a here-and-now power struggle between criminals, police, lovers, and unseen forces, forcing Hardy to navigate a treacherous landscape of lies and betrayal.
