LEO THOUGHT HE KNEW HIS WIFE. UNTIL SHE DISAPPEARED.
Leo Kennedy has it all: money, looks, the perfect marriage and luxury homes in the UK and South Africa. But when his wife Addison goes missing, his immaculate life detonates.
48 hours later, Leo arrives at their safari lodge to retrace her steps. Only there's no sign of Addison. Instead, Leo is met with a scene of blood and chaos, and on the wall a missing poster, with his face, his name and his details.
His wife may be missing, but someone wants Leo gone too . . .
