"With every passing hour, Kezia Ashcroft moved further away from home and closer towards the city where she would most likely die."

In a city full of crime, violence and corruption, a young woman disappears. Her mother was a prostitute. Her best friend is an ecstasy dealer. Her cousin is a violent hooligan and shady businessman. There are many grim possibilities as to what could have happened to Kezia Ashcroft.

When Simon Kershaw, a brilliant yet troubled probation officer learns of Kezia's disappearance, he decides to investigate knowing that no one else will. Yet with only the three words: "MHC", "JASPER" and "DONEGAL" to guide him, Simon must race against time while battling his own demons to find Kezia before it is too late.

From the intriguing prologue and head-scratching mystery, to the pulse-pounding action and heart-wrenching conclusion, My Cousin's Crusade is a novel unlike anything which came before it.
