About the book:

How do you track down a lost teenager, when everyone else who has tried to find her ends up missing or dead?

PI Cal Rogan goes to Hong Kong to search for a teenager who disappeared while on vacation. Her brother, who went looking for her, has also vanished. As Cal investigates, he discovers that hunting for this girl is a death warrant... and he’s next on the list. While Cal struggles to stay alive, his partner Nick is dealing with a blackmail case which goes horribly wrong and puts the whole firm in jeopardy.

If you like mystery thrillers, with characters you’ll fall in love with, and which keep you up nights turning pages, check out Captive now and just see if you can put it down.

Review:

“This might be one of Mr French’s best … who am I kidding, ALL the books in the series are excellent. In Captive, Cal travels outside Canada, which adds a new twist. The characters make you care, the action is furious, and there are enough mysteries and red herrings to keep one guessing to the end. Do yourself a favour and read this entire series! (✭✭✭✭)”

About the author:

Robert French is a former software developer, former actor, turned author of the Cal Rogan Mysteries. Born in Oxford, he now lives in his beautiful adopted city, Vancouver. It has taken him many years and several books (either partial or failed) to learn the writers' craft. We invite you to enjoy the six Cal Rogan Mysteries. Six days a week you can see him at the Vancouver Public library hunched over the computer working on the next book in the series, as yet untitled.
