Publisher's Summary

Detective Sergeant Harry Belltree, back on the job after a near-fatal confrontation with corrupt colleagues, has become a departmental embarrassment. The solution is a posting away from Sydney and a quiet life in Newcastle. Or maybe not so quiet.

A body's been found buried just offshore on Ash Island; there may be more. There's also Harry's unfinished business. The car crash that killed his parents and blinded his wife happened not far from Newcastle. And Harry knows it was no accident. The other unfinished business is Jenny's longed-for pregnancy. Which means that now the stakes are higher than ever.

Book 2 a Good Follow On

I enjoyed book 2 more than book 1 - and enjoying the story so far - just started book 3 of the trilogy.

Jenny has some amazing talents - the info she finds so quickly and easily (realistic?) and some pretty amazing escapes - A bit of writers licence but mostly believable.

Love Hosking narrative and his many voices. Chuckled at his Asian one.

It’s all Good fun! I’m taking the Mickey. It’s worth a listen. I promise.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
