Manx plumber and part time motorbike race Rob Hale wakes up in hospital on the Isle of Man after a motorbike crash. However there is no trace of his passenger, a young woman he had only recently met for the first time called Lena. The police and ambulance crew deny all knowledge of her existence. When he is released from hospital Rob sets out to discover the truth about who Lena really is and where she has gone. He is soon joined by a private investigator called Rebecca Lewis, who has been hired by his parents to investigate his sister Laura's apparent suicide on the Isle of Man a few weeks earlier.
As Rob and Rebecca uncover evidence and start to piece together the truth, they realise that Lena and Laura knew each other, that they cannot trust anyone to tell them the whole truth and that their own lives may be in danger. There are a number of twists and turns in the story before the truth is revealed and justice is done.
This excellent crime novel was the only novel set on the Isle of Man, which I could find stocked by my local library service. 9/10
