A river of deception runs right through the case of a foreign spy who disappeared in Western Australia. Dennis Cunningham, the cranky but incredibly effective retired CIA investigator, is lured back into the fray by the Australian intelligence service to help find the spy.
The spy is a Chinese national who was suspected of collecting information on Australia’s rare earth mineral deposits. His disappearance has infuriated the Chinese embassy, putting enormous pressure on the investigation.
Judy White, his Australian girlfriend and a member of her country’s federal investigative service is drawn into the case to help manage the mercurial Cunningham. However, Judy has challenges dealing with a family crisis and job stress.
In a twist, Dennis and Judy find themselves entangled in each other’s investigations, leading to a shocking conclusion about the dark side of people–and their governments.
