Shadow City

Two cops from different continents team up to expose a conspiracy threatening the lives of young women in this thriller from the award-winning author. 

Called to the murder of a young woman, Detective Jackie Rose is unsettled by the marks of abuse on the woman’s body—and the tattoo of the sun that’s been branded on her. But before Jackie gets a chance to investigate, the feds take over the case, leaving the determined detective suspicious and frustrated.

On suspended leave, Cape Town Detective Schalk Lourens comes to Sydney to visit his daughter, with a plan to follow up on a family desperate for information about their daughter whom they haven’t heard from in weeks. When he encounters Detective Rose and discovers the terrifying similarities between her murder case and his missing person, he partners with her to uncover the grisly truth.

As Rose and Lourens discover more missing women, they come closer and closer to uncovering a conspiracy of corruption that moves between two continents and is strong enough to destroy the lives of countless young women, unless they can destroy it first.

“Tense, gritty and insightful. Natalie Conyer pulls you into a chilling world where even the truth can be fatal. A must for fans of international crime fiction.” —Emma Viskic, award-winning author of Resurrection Bay
