Turnstone — Graham Hurley

Emma Maloney's father is missing. DI Joe Faraday thinks he may have been murdered. But these days, a hunch is not enough. Faraday's squad of detectives is battling with an ever-growing caseload in a city torn by violence, drug-dealing, and petty crime. Who can spare the time and resources for an investigation unsupported by hard evidence? Joe Faraday is struggling with his own demons, and finding Stuart Maloney, dead or alive, turns into a battle not simply for justice, but for sanity.
