Publisher's Summary
Joe Cashin was different once. He moved easily then; was surer and less thoughtful. But there are consequences when you’ve come so close to dying. For Cashin, they included a posting away from the world of Homicide to the quiet place on the coast where he grew up. Now all he has to do is play the country cop and walk the dogs. And sometimes think about how he was before.
Then prominent local Charles Bourgoyne is bashed and left for dead. Everything seems to point to three boys from the nearby Aboriginal community; everyone seems to want it to. But Cashin is unconvinced. And as tragedy unfolds relentlessly into tragedy, he finds himself holding onto something that might be better let go....

amazing narration
Excellent Australian crime fiction with amazing narration. Sadly the sequel had a different narrator which is a major let down as I loved Peter Hoskings performance

Fabulous book
The most well-written engaging book of any genre I've read in many years. I recommend to anyone not just as a crime novel but a great story.

An engaging story.
I found the story intriguing. I was haunted a little by the ending. The underlying humor in the banter between the main characters was a contrast to the darkness of the overall theme

Terrific and gritty story
I tore through this book. The reading took a chapter or two to warm too but the tale and the writing of the tale held it long enough to come to appreciate the performance. What a yarn, this thriller has everything and then some. It will take you right there, and also to places you might prefer not to be. Outstanding.

Australian based novel
I was amused by the very Australian content but the story took a while to develop. Half way through I thought this is finally getting somewhere but right at the very end, I was rather disappointed. Very average read!

very well narrated to a good yarn
story ended suddenly with unanswered questions, some points of the story jump to unrealistic assumptions.
