Victoria’s Top Homicide cop Darian Richards has been seeking out monsters for too long. Surviving a gunshot wound finally persuades him to call it quits and he retires to the Gold Coast, leaving his demons behind. But he should have known: nowhere is free of demons.

All Darian wants to do is sit on his jetty and ignore the world. But a serial killer is prowling the Sunshine Coast – girls from all over the area have been disappearing into thin air. Jenny Brown was the first: vanishing on a Saturday the previous year. Despite what everyone who knew her said, after a good three minutes’ thought the cops dismissed it as a runaway. Before they’d even walked out of her front gate, they’d forgotten Jenny Brown even existed.

But as others start to disappear the cops can’t call them all runaways. And Darian can’t sit idly by and watch them mess up the investigation. He decides he is going to find the killer and deal with them . . . his way.

The first book in the Darian Richards series

For crime fans thirsty for an Aussie voice
Woman's Day on Promise
Compulsive reading, Promise itself is more menacing, more disturbing and much more confronting than any other crime thriller on the shelves. It is brutal. It is terrifying. It is a brilliant book
ABC on Promise
The good part of any crime story is an intricate yet totally authentic plot, allowing the reader to suspend any disbelief for the entire journey. Mr Cavanaugh manages this with the deftness of a tightrope walker - all the while retaining his own unique approach to the characters and backdrop
