You stare hard at the man in the photo, you’re sure that’s your brother. But he’s been dead for years . . . hasn’t he?
Steve was just four years old when he was told his two-year-old brother Zac had died. Steve remembers his brother’s strawberry-shaped birthmark and the missing little finger on his left hand.
Now, over twenty years later, Steve stumbles across a photo of a man with the exact same birthmark and missing left finger. He looks the same age as Zac would have been — could this mysterious man be Steve’s lost brother?
Detective Tyrone Swift is called in to investigate. But Steve and Zac’s mother is dead, their father long gone, and there’s no official record of Zac’s death. But when Swift finds letters belonging to their mum, his whole investigation is turned on its head.
Swift is also battling his own increasingly complicated personal life as he deals with his daughter moving away.
Swift must focus and find out the truth, no matter what the cost . . .
Perfect for fans of Joy Ellis, Tana French, Val McDermid, Robert Galbraith, Ann Cleeves, Jane Adams and Elly Griffiths.

Review
I do love the Tyrone Swift series it has the right balance between personal lives and the story. They are always full of intrigue that keeps the reader guessing all the way through.
It is usual for Tyrone to be asked to help with cases that nobody else wants and his solve rate is impressive. However, when Steve asks for help Tyrone is left wondering if this is a case he should have declined. His client is an anxious young man who has led an introverted life spending much of it alone. His father died when he was young and his younger brother died when Steve was just 4. Now his mother has also died so he is all alone in the world His Aunt and cousins he rarely has contact with so when he sees a man accidentally caught in a photograph that has the unique birthmark and hand defect that his brother had. Confused as to how this could be Tyrone is tasked with finding him.
Tyrone is afraid that he will be opening Pandora’s box and the truth may be a long way from the answers Steve is craving.
is a gripping story that had me turning page after page. So many secrets and so many dead ends this is a thankless task for Tyrone but he is nothing if not determined so if anyone can find out the truth he can. I had several theories along the way and turned out all of them were wrong. I really enjoyed reading about the different people and their lives, lies and secrets.
What I did learn from reading this book is that you don’t have to like the characters to really enjoy the book. I love Tyrone and his relationship with Branna is heartwarming. The characters in the story in the main were hard people to like and I found myself feeling sorry for Steve that life had dealt him such a bad hand of cards but not liking them brought a new dimension to the story and I think that helped to make it even more unputdownable.
A brilliant read as always. Thank you so much to Joffe Books and the author for the advance copy. This is my unbiased review.
