The Improbable Three: One death, three strangers, and a secret

When her close friend Tom dies under tragic circumstances, journalist Maia Hewson embarks on a quest to uncover the truth, was it suicide or murder? Has Tom left a message in the cryptic rows of numbers in his notebook?

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Newcastle City, Maia grapples with her emerging career, a tumultuous love life, and a ten-year-old secret that threatens to shatter her world. As she delves deeper, attempting to establish the truth, one name surfaces repeatedly, drawing her into the unforgiving, and dangerous world of child abuse and drugs, a world she never imagined she'd confront.

A critical clue connects Maia to two of Tom's friends from a children's home. Aimee, fierce and determined, has risen from a chaotic upbringing to become a successful fitness entrepreneur, while Jordan, haunted by the trauma of a violent, alcoholic father, struggles with addiction and homelessness. Together, these three unlikely allies uncover a sinister figure at the heart of it all, a man with a chilling history that stretches back decades leaving a trail of traumatised sexually abused victims in his wake.

Determined to gather evidence to convince D.S. Chris Powell to investigate, Maia, Aimee, and Jordan must confront their own pasts, and decide what they are willing to risk to bring the serial abuser to justice. Will they find the courage to expose the predator who has continually alluded capture?
