Was the biggest case of his career the worst mistake he ever made?

But as similarities between the two cases grow, could it be that Jack caught the wrong man all those years ago?

Detective Dave Burrows has longed for the top job in the Stock Squad but never thought he'd be acting in that role while his partner and best mate, Detective Bob Holden, is treated for melanoma. Bob is keen to get back on the road and Dave can't wait to go bush either, expecting the trip will be much the same as usual. But the trip doesn't play out that way. Multiple bomb blasts in the small country town of Kallygarn send shock waves through the state of WA, and Dave and Bob are once again drawn into the underworld of crime.

Burnt-out from policework, Detective Sergeant George Manolis flies from Australia to Greece for a holiday. Recently divorced and mourning the death of his father, who emigrated from the turbulent Prespes region which straddles the borders of Greece, Albania and North Macedonia, Manolis hopes to reconnect with his roots and heritage. On arrival, Manolis learns of the disappearance of an 'invisible'—a local man who lives without a scrap of paperwork. The police and some locals believe the man's disappearance was pre-planned, while others suspect foul play.

Publisher's Summary
IT IS THE EARLY 1980s. Greg Bowker is a young senior constable forcibly transferred to a one-officer station in a remote and dying Mallee town.
Welcomed by a brutal combination of heat, dust, isolation and primitive amenities, the new officer expects to waste years of his career in ‘purgatory’.
He is greeted with warmth by the community but becomes increasingly worried by the behavior of two delinquent teenagers, one of whose family history hides a secret he cannot resist investigating.
A subsequent disappearance and murder set a new challenge for the young officer that leads him down a path into an unspeakable world of darkness and deception.
Purgatory may well reside within the quiet town…

Great Australian Crime Drama
What a great book, this was a fabulous audiobook to listen to on a long drive.
Two things stood out to me- first: the imagery reminds me of growing up in the Mallee in the 1980 and second: what a fabulous mystery, it left me thinking well after I finished.
