The Lost Boy: a George 'Magpie' Collins mystery

By: Driscoll, Len

When George 'Magpie' Collins sees a child snatched off the streets of Sydney in broad daylight, he's pulled into the most harrowing case of his career. The desperate mother begs for his help, the police circle in half-heartedly, and the father's secrets begin to spill.

What begins as a ransom plot unravels into something far darker-gambling debts, old betrayals, and enemies willing to kill to keep the past buried.

Relentless in his search, Collins must chase the boy through Sydney's underworld of gangs, corrupt cops, and double-crosses. Every lead tightens the noose, and every lie hides another.

The clock is ticking. To save the child, Collins will risk everything-even his own life.

The Lost Boy is a gripping George 'Magpie' Collins mystery-suspenseful, layered, and unforgettable.
