RRP: $34.95
Thirty-one years ago, Bowker solved the brutal murder of a teenage schoolgirl as a senior constable in the one-copper Mallee town of Manangatang.
Now, he must return to the area to investigate another killing.
The victim: the original killer, who had just been released, following his lengthy prison sentence.
The scene of the crime: the exact location the schoolgirl had been murdered years earlier.
Bowker is sure the two murders are connected. With his knowledge from the previous case, compiling his first list of suspects proves initially straightforward.
Despite the familiarity of the case, however, there is a whole new set of challenges. Ultimately he must ask – are there others involved...?
“From a master writer of crime as proven in Purgatory, comes the next instalment and wow, what a great read. Tight plot and fast action blended with indelible characters who make themselves all seem guilty until the very end… Brilliant and highly recommend…” Karen, Readalot Magazine reviewer
