Product Description
An astonishingly told caper that's tough, tender and poignant and totally captivating - The Age 'It was as easy as that. Inspired, really. That first one, last week, she hadn't been a challenge at all. Drunk, half-drugged, hitchhiking, she'd been too easy. At least he'd got to use his head tonight. His headlights probed the darkness as he carried her away, high above the rottenness that was always there under the light of the sun.' It's December and the police of the sleepy Peninsular towns are preparing for the usual summer holiday madness. But this time, it's not just break-and-enters and joyriding kids. There's a killer on the Old Peninsular Highway and women alone aren't safe. For Detective Inspector Hal Challis, his quiet place in the country is about to explode. The media is demanding to know what he's doing about the killer, his colleagues are either giving trouble or in it, and his beleaguered past has a way of never leaving him alone. 'characters are engaging and appealingly complex . . . a very promising start to the series.' - CANBERRA TIMES 'pace and tautness, involving plotlines, evocative landscapes. More than that, there's an atypically ( for the genre) relaxed, almost introspective element abroad - characters develop complexity and lodge in the consciousness.' - WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN 'Disher writes a mean crime thriller.' - NEWCASTLE HERALD
