Product Description
A missing boyfriend … a heavily pregnant girlfriend … just another ordinary case for QuicK Investigations. But the trail they follow suggests something far from ordinary. Who is Orie Kavlar and why has he gone to ground? What is the connection to the body of a dead girl found on waste ground in Sandyford? And what is his relationship to Darren Wallace, ex-gangland criminal?
With their personal relationship at a new all-time low, Sarah and John are straining under the weight of their own problems: like the murder of Sarah’s ex-boyfriend Vic. Vic was a dangerous psychotic, but murder is murder. So why won’t she accept John’s help?
In no time John and Sarah’s investigations alert others to their search and as they dig deeper into Orie Kavlar’s life, one man decides he has too much to lose to allow them to continue. Sarah and John are about to be caught up in an undertow of violence that will suck them into their most perilous case yet. (20010101)

Format:Paperback
This is a very well crafted thriller which combines a main plot with an interesting sub-plot involving one of the main characters (it's worth checking out Hunt's previous books to get the bigger picture).
The dialogue is cracking, the story belts along and the characters, particularly the young villain of the piece, are believable and well drawn. I won't say too much more about the story but there's a fantastic sense of realism in the denouement which many authors would do well to note.

I enjoyed this book, the characters were quite human. I've read the other books by this author too. This latest one though, even though I liked the way the story took you along and you were interested in what would befall the characters, I'm afraid I found myself beginning to tire of the female detective Sarah, she's become dull and boring and I think she should be replaced, it's time for John to have someone more exciting to work with.

Having really enjoyed "Missing Presumed Dead", I eagerly dove into "Undertow" but what a disappointment. Thinly drawn, unbelievable characters; no story or plot to speak of; I only finished it because I don't like to leave any book unfinished.
