The Domino Coincidence

Things are seldom what they seem. Rory Calder, criminologist, lecturer, psychologist, and profiler from New Zealand, knows this better than most. Now, he must put his extensive experience to the test before obsession consumes him. He's struggling to find sense in the deaths of his estranged wife, Serena, and their three children. The deeper he digs, however, the murkier the waters become. Rory knows there is more to the story than he's being told, as surely as he knows that he may be the only one who can see through the confusion to find the horrible truth that eludes him. Was it murder? Suicide? An accident? And why was Serena in Cornwall with their children in the first place? The truth is never what it seems or should be. Will he ever find it? As clarity finally begins to emerge, a mysterious phone call from a man who calls himself Moorhead changes the direction of Rory's investigation. Desperate and depressed, Rory returns to New Zealand, where three days of insanity await the exhausted investigator. After another call from Moorhead, Rory travels to a small seaside village and is surprised to finds his former colleague and lover, Detective Superintendent Marguriette Bronson. Hanging to his sanity by a thread, he will stop at nothing to understand this unbelievable whirlpool of events. Swirling around him are the signs of an emerging crime network involving espionage, drugs, diamonds, gold, even white slave trafficking. Is this all in his imagination? Who is pulling the strings-and why?
