From Australia's most exciting new crime-writing talent comes an "outstanding . . . gripping and violent" thriller starring a deaf PI who is "original and appealing" (The Guardian)

Caleb Zelic can't hear you, but he sees everything. And he never forgets a face.

Caleb Zelic's childhood friend has been brutally murdered--fingers broken, throat slit--at his home in Melbourne. Tortured by guilt, Caleb vows to track down the killer. But he's profoundly deaf; missed words and misread lips can lead to confusion, and trouble.

Fortunately, Caleb knows how to read people; a sideways glance, an unconvincing smile, speak volumes. When his friend Frankie, a former cop, offers to help, they soon discover the killer is on their tail.

Sensing that his ex-wife may also be in danger, Caleb insists they return to their hometown of Resurrection Bay. But here he learns that everyone--including his murdered friend--is hiding something. And the deeper he digs, the darker the secrets . . .
