Overview

When private investigator Tom Renfield is hired to locate a missing university student, the case appears routine. Rebecca Morney is intelligent, troubled, and suddenly gone. Her professor wants her found. The university wants discretion. But nothing about Rebecca Morney is simple. As Tom digs deeper into Manchester's academic world, he uncovers a dangerous network of desire, secrecy, betrayal, and abuse of power hidden behind intellectual prestige. What begins as a missing-person investigation quickly becomes something far darker - where relationships between students and lecturers blur moral boundaries, and truth itself becomes dangerously unstable. At the centre of it all is Rebecca Morney - a young woman whose disappearance is only the beginning. As the investigation spirals into obsession, manipulation, guilt, and murder, Tom discovers that some cases don't just reveal the truth - they make you complicit in it. The Case of Rebecca Morney is an intelligent psychological crime novel blending literary fiction, campus noir, and investigative suspense - perfect for readers who enjoy morally complex mysteries, academic thrillers, and dark character-driven fiction.
