'Crime fiction at its best' - AGE EVERY COLD CASE DESERVES JUSTICE A cloud of despondency
hangs over the Mornington Peninsula. A decomposing corpse is fished out the sea but cannot be
identified. A two-year-old is missing but without sufficient evidence the Waterloo Police
can't charge their lead suspect. And what was a simple case of burning letterboxes has quickly
escalated into torched stolen cars. Something has to give. And then Kitty Casement - aerial
photographer and friend of Detective Inspector Hal Challis - is driven off the road her plane
damaged and her life under threat. Is this another case doomed to run cold or could it provide
the break they need? From the multiple Ned Kelly Award-winning author of Consolation and
Day's End comes the second Hal Challis investigation for readers of Jane Harper Ian Rankin
and Chris Hammer.
