About this listen

The fifth novel in the John Bailey thriller series. Bailey is trying to solve two murders, ten years apart – unfinished business from his former flame Sharon Dexter. But will it cost him his life?

When Sydney socialite Tottie Evans is found dead at a house in Palm Beach, Detective Holly Sutton is called in to investigate. She immediately suspects the boyfriend, a millionaire property developer and ex-mercenary soldier, who refuses to cooperate with police.

Across the city, old-school reporter John Bailey – still haunted by the death of his girlfriend, former cop Sharon Dexter – gets a call about a break-in. It leads to the unearthing of an old case file on a murder at the men-only Sydney Club that Dexter had been pursuing a decade earlier. Her notes reveal a link between that murder and the killing of Tottie Evans.

Suddenly, John Bailey and Holly Sutton have the same mission. And for Bailey, this is a chance to finish a job for the woman who saved his life.

The only problem: a serial killer is already serving a life sentence for the Sydney Club murder.

The prose is crisp, the pacing good, the coincidences manifold, and the good guys live to fight another day. What’s not to like, right? How much of it I’ll remember next week is less clear.

Ain’t nothin’ wrong with that

I am a fan for life Tim Ayliffe. This was another fantastic story and I just love John Bailey and his irreverence to authority when he feels it matters to follow his instinct. I am so pleased Ronnie made a reappearance too. Of course it was another brilliant narration by Lani John Tupu

Excellent
