This isn't a whodunnit or a whydunnit, but a willtheygetawaywithit. If you like stories about outsiders, people separated from society through no fault of their own and struggling against all odds for justice, you may enjoy this novel.

28 February 1992: Summoned by a dead-of-night telephone call wherein police inform him that his beloved sister Kate is missing, Welsh-born luthier Reed Ivory travels from California to Wales.

Reed's aggressive brother-in-law Lewis insists Kate ran off with the guitarist in her band. Though Reed is certain Kate, who'd finally got up the courage to leave a bad marriage, has come to harm at the hands of her violent, unfaithful husband, Lewis is well-connected, and Reed cannot get the police to act. Not on his own.

An awkward loner, incapable in social situations, Reed knows no one in this foreign country of his birth. Blocked at every turn, how will he get the help he needs? How long will it take to find out what happened to Kate?

This is Book 2 in the Ffrynt Trilogy, but can be read as a standalone.
