But when a violent crash unfolds before her eyes, she spots what everyone else misses-a bullet hole in the dead driver's head.
The police dismiss her claims.
Charity doesn't.
Then a desperate teenager asks for help finding her missing sister.
What begins as a routine missing-person case quickly leads Charity into a world of gang violence, human trafficking, and professional killers. And when evidence links the disappearance to the dead driver, she realizes someone has gone to extraordinary lengths to keep the truth buried.
Now Charity is chasing a conspiracy that reaches far beyond the streets of Vancouver.
And the closer she gets to the answers, the closer she comes to becoming another body in the investigation.
For fans of gritty crime fiction, Hubris is the explosive first book in the Charity Deacon Investigations series.
