It's 1962. Detective Charlie Berlin has been demoted to the fraud squad. It's boring but it keeps him out of danger. Until he finds himself seconded back to Missing Persons because no one else can trace the 15-year-old daughter of one of Victoria's most well connected men. In fact, she's the seventh girl to go missing in the last six months, but no one has joined the dots until now. Charlie's investigation leads him from the outskirts of Melbourne to innercity nightclubs and St Kilda's seediest side, and to an encounter with a man who reminds Charlie distinctly of an SS soldier who shot a woman in front of him, all those years ago in the dying months of the war. In this, the third Charlie Berlin novel, Berlin realises that while the ghosts of the past never leave you alone, the ghosts of the future are even more unbearable.
