You will outwit them all.

You will get what you want.

You will show them.

In the gridlocked heart of Melbourne, a split-second of road rage changes everything. For one driver, the crash is a bizarre stroke of luck that sets their life on an upward trajectory they never thought possible. For the other, it is the first domino to fall in a terrifying downward spiral.

Detective Sergeant Claudia Russo doesn't care about the insurance claims –she's focused on the search for a missing eighteen-year-old girl. But the girl's father, a man defined by entitlement and influence, is playing a dangerous game. He's more afraid of his own double life being exposed than he is of his daughter never coming home. Claudia has secrets too: she's grieving a tragic loss of her own and losing control of an on-the-job romance that threatens to unravel everything she has worked so hard for.

As all their fates become more entwined, the lesson must be learned: Be kind. Or suffer the consequences.

About the Author

A former journalist, broadcaster, columnist, travel editor and published rom-com novelist, SK Lynch created and wrote three thrillers for television - including Netflix Australia's Top 10 hit Friends Like Her - before a road rage incident in Melbourne inspired her to turn back to print, this time on the darker side. The result is her crime debut, Something He Did. She currently lives with her film art director husband and unemployed dog in Melbourne.
