`Help me, please help me.’
Young, naked, filthy, the woman must have stumbled through bushland to get here. She was clasping the top fence wire with both hands, rocking and keening like an abandoned child.
A rapist in a police uniform is stalking Inspector Hal Challis’s Peninsula beat, a very clever female cat burglar has also appeared on his patch—and he’s in hot water with the boss. Again.
Meanwhile, at the Waterloo police station, something interesting is going on between Constable Pam Murphy and Jeannie Schiff, the feisty young sergeant on secondment from the Sex Crimes Unit.
In his sixth Peninsula novel, Garry Disher keeps the tension and intrigue ramped up on multiple fronts while he takes his characters in intriguing new directions.
Hal Challis is in trouble at home and abroad: carpeted by the boss for speaking out about police budget cuts; missing his lover, Ellen Destry, who is overseas on a study tour. But there's plenty to keep his mind off his problems.
