A bit slow to start but read the last 200 pages in one sitting. Great read, love Aussie crime fiction and Chris Hammer has to be one of the best.

The stunning new novel from the No.1 international bestselling author of Scrublands and 'master of Australian noir' Chris Hammer. On a bright sunny day in Port Silver, ex-journalist Martin Scarsden misses a call from his girlfriend Mandy. Checking his voicemail later, all he hears is her terrified scream before the phone cuts off. Back at the house, he finds a policeman unconscious on the floor, and Mandy gone. So starts a riveting tale of intrigue and danger, as Martin probes the hidden past of the woman he loves. But can he trust her, once her shocking secrets are finally revealed? Praise for Chris Hammer 'The best Australian crime novel for years' The Times 'Shimmers . . . A tortured tale of blood and loss' Val McDermid 'Intelligent, thought-provoking - an almost-perfect crime novel' Ann Cleeves 'Hammer is a great writer - a leader in Australian noir' Michael Connelly 'Stunning - a page-turner which stays long in the memory' Sunday Times 'Hammer's writing is so evocative the heat practically rises off the pages' Guardian 'A dark and brilliant thriller' Mail On Sunday

Preposterous characters. Preposterous plot. Good fun.
