A LOST CHILD. A BROKEN FAMILY.
Ten-year-old Katie Blasko is missing. Detective Sergeant Ellen Destry, alert to rumours of a child abuse ring operating on the Mornington Peninsula, is thinking abduction. But her colleagues are thinking bad family, truancy, and her boss is only thinking about the media. And everyone, including Destry, is wondering whether she's good enough to handle this without Detective Inspector Hal Challis.
But Challis is miles away, summoned to his childhood home in the outback. So when the body of his missing brother-in-law is found in suspicious circumstances, Challis has his own investigation to pursue. And without each other, both Challis and Destry are worried they're running out of time...
From the multiple Ned Kelly Award-winning author of Consolation and Day's End comes the fourth Hal Challis investigation, for readers of Jane Harper, Ian Rankin and Chris Hammer.
Rezensionen
<b>A compelling mix of procedural detail and action round out a fully credible plot and characters... A deeply satisfying read</b>
<b>Mulltilayered and multistranded, <i>Chain of Evidence</i> is written in vivid and uncompromising prose</b>
<b>His best novel... Disher brings crime fiction back to simple facts, the painful themes that churn beneath banal surfaces. No one works the flat, elided plains of realism better</b>
<b>This instalment puts Disher up on the world stage among the best in the business at this style of crime fiction</b>
<b>The plot twists like a backroad short cut and pulls like the rip</b>
