Book description
Alisha Barba's dreams of being a detective were shattered when a murder
suspect broke her back across a brick wall. Now on her feet again, with
her police career in limbo, she receives a message from an old school
friend, Cate Beaumont, who is eight months pregnant and in trouble. On
the night they arrange to meet, Cate is mown down by a car that kills
her husband instantly. As paramedics fight to save her life they
discover there is no baby. Her pregnancy is an elaborate lie, a cruel
deception. Why? What happened? As Alisha sets out to answer these
questions she is drawn deeper and deeper into a dangerous quest that
will take her from the East End of London to Amsterdam's red light
district and into a murky underworld of sex trafficking, slavery and
exploitation. A gripping thriller, with twists at every turn, The Night
Ferry is Michael Robotham's finest novel yet. Before writing
full-time, Michael Robotham was an investigative journalist in Britain,
Australia and the US. He is the pseudonymous author of 10 best-selling
non-fiction titles, involving prominent figures in the military, the
arts, sport and science. He lives in Sydney with his wife and three
daughters.
