Gripping page turning thriller from one of Australia?s most celebrated literary crime writers.

The young detectives call Alan Auhl a retread, but that doesn?t faze him. He does things his own way – and gets results.He still lives with his ex-wife, off and on, in a big house full of random boarders and hard-luck stories. And he?s still a cop, even though he retired from Homicide some years ago.He works cold cases now. Like the death of John Elphick – his daughters still convinced he was murdered, the coroner not so sure. Or the skeleton that?s just been found under a concrete slab. Or the doctor who killed two wives and a girlfriend, and left no evidence at all.Auhl will stick with these cases until justice is done. One way or another.

Garry Disher has published fifty titles – fiction, children?s books, anthologies, textbooks, the Wyatt thrillers and the Peninsula Crimes series. His previous standalone novel, Bitter Wash Road, won the German Crime Prize in 2016.
