Deaf PI Caleb Zelic has always been an outsider, estranged from family and friends. But when he receives a message that his brother, Anton, is in danger, Caleb sees it as a chance at redemption. He tracks Anton down to a small wind-punished island, where secrets run deep and resentments deeper. When a sniper starts terrorising the isolated community, the brothers must rely on each other like never before. But trust comes at a deadly price.

Eine verzweifelte Frau überrascht Caleb nachts in einer dunklen Gasse. Es ist zu dunkel, um von ihren Lippen zu lesen, und ihre unbeholfenen Gebärden scheinen keinen Sinn zu ergeben. Nur zwei Begriffe versteht er: Hilfe und Familie. Dann liegt die Unbekannte tot in seinen Armen. Caleb will Antworten! Hat ihr Tod mit ihrem Engagement für eine Umweltschutzgruppe der Aborigines zu tun? Ihr stummer Hilfeschrei durchbricht die Stille, und Caleb tut alles in seiner Macht Stehende, um ihrem Anliegen Gehör zu verschaffen und den Täter zu finden.

Profoundly deaf since early childhood, Caleb has always lived on the outside - watching and picking up tell-tale signs people hide in a smile, a cough or a kiss. When a childhood friend is murdered, a sense of guilt and a determination to prove his own innocence sends Caleb on a hunt for the killer. But he can’t do it alone....

Deaf since early childhood, Caleb Zelic is used to meeting life head-on. But now his best mate is dead, his ex-wife, Kat, is avoiding him and nightmares haunt him. But when a young woman is killed, after pleading for his help in sign language, Caleb is determined to find out who she was. And when the trail leads him back to his hometown, he uncovers secrets that could threaten any chance of reuniting with Kat and his life.

After a lifetime of bad decisions, PI Caleb Zelic is finally making good ones. He's in therapy, his business is recovering and his relationship with his estranged wife, Kat, who is pregnant after a devastating history of miscarriages, is on the mend after heading for divorce. However, life has other plans in store for him. Soon Caleb is drawn into the tangled world of his troubled ex-partner Frankie, whose addictions had her working with criminals and endangering Kat - and this time their pairing leads to a confrontation with the cops.

Als Calebs bester Freund ermordet wird, schwört er, den Täter aufzuspüren. Dabei hat der Privatermittler allerdings einen vermeintlichen Nachteil: Er ist gehörlos. Caleb macht dies zu seiner Stärke, denn er kann Menschen auf den ersten Blick einschätzen, gespielte Emotionen von echten unterscheiden und Lippen lesen. Und er vergisst nie ein Gesicht. Alle Spuren in diesem Fall führen überraschend in Calebs Heimatstadt. Er muss erkennen, dass sein bester Freund dunkle Geheimnisse hatte. Und nicht nur er. Je mehr Caleb herausfindet, desto tiefer werden die Abgründe.
