In 1965, a young woman named Sarah disappeared from the streets of Bristol, England. She was a Caribbean immigrant who was unable to hear or speak, making her invisible to the police and lost in the cold winter night.

Enter Joseph Tremaine Ellington, an ex-cop fleeing a broken heart and a tragic past in Barbados. He finds himself in England, facing the choice between starving or freezing to death. However, his fortunes change when local big shot Earl Linney hires him to track down Sarah.

Earl Linney is a powerful man involved in the illegal sex trade, kidnapping, and conspiracy among the shebeens, brothels, and nightclubs of Bristol. JT is thrown into a world of vice and danger as he uncovers the truth about Sarah and Earl Linney's involvement.

As JT digs deeper, he discovers that other women have also gone missing, and Earl Linney's hands are far from clean. He becomes increasingly aware of the dangerous and unfamiliar world he has entered, and he knows that it could prove deadly.

JT is an engaging hero, and the author [M.P. Wright] paints a vivid picture of 1960s Bristol. The plot is well-developed with lively dialogue, and the reader is drawn into the world of vice and danger.

This is an excellent read for anyone who enjoys a good mystery with a touch of intrigue and danger. The characters are well-developed, and the setting is vividly portrayed, making it a memorable and enjoyable experience.
