Synopsis

24 HOURS AFTER LEAVING HIS CELL HE WAS DEAD. CAN SHE FIND OUT WHY?

'S. R. White is the real deal.' CHRIS HAMMER, author of SCRUBLANDS.

*** From THE AUSTRALIAN TOP TEN BESTSELLER***

When a man is found savagely 'crucified' amidst a murky swamp in northern Australia, detective Dana Russo and her team are called to a shocking scene. The victim is a convicted rapist, just released from prison, who years earlier committed an atrocious crime yards from where he was killed.

Who murdered him - and why? With several potential leads, the investigation quickly becomes more complex, and sinister, than anyone imagined. And Dana realises she'll have to confront her own troubled past to understand the true motives of the killer...

A twisting, compelling and utterly haunting new novel from the international bestseller, perfect for fans of Jane Harper's THE DRY and Chris Hammer's SCRUBLANDS.

Goodreads review by Elisha

Early on I was thinking this book is going to be a solid 4. It is set in Australia but it feels more like an American or British crime novel. Some of the language you just wouldn't hear in Australia, for example the next village over, um no Aussie would ever say village, it would be town. Yes that i......more

Goodreads review by Karin

Not as good as I was expecting or hoping. The entire 400pp covered only two days.. and believe me it was a long two days.

Story was good but the location was a bit confusing for me as it was set in Australia, had a lot of American terms at the start and I couldn't work out whether Carlton was in the state of Victoria or Tasmania (Eagle Hawk Neck reference).......more
