About this listen

The chin tattoo confirms the victim is Maori. The whorls of ink from her lower lip to her chin - the moko - is worn only by Maori women. So her ethnicity is a given.

Finding who murdered her and dumped her body in the pool at the base of Mason's Rock waterfall is DI Nyree Bradshaw's latest case. From the strangely unsympathetic parents to the belligerent boyfriend on home detention for drugs, it seems everyone has something to hide, and no one is telling the truth. Then Nyree discovers six-year-old diabetic Lily Holmes is missing, last seen in the victim's care. Now Nyree must find the killer to save Lily.

The clock is ticking. She has already failed her own son. She cannot fail this child.
