EVERY MAN HAS A BREAKING POINT
Things are never quiet on the Mornington Peninsula, especially for Detective Inspector Hal Challis. There's a serial armed robber, a brutal home invasion and a mysterious cat burglar, not to mention the offender disguised in a police uniform stalking Challis's beat.
But with Sergeant Ellen Destry away, a boss who's more committed to budget cuts than policework and a team struggling to separate their personal lives from the professional, one more case could be enough to push Challis to his breaking point.
From the multiple Ned Kelly Award-winning author of Consolation and Day's End comes the sixth Hal Challis investigation, for readers of Jane Harper, Ian Rankin and Chris Hammer.
Rezensionen
<b>This very fine novel submits to the thriller conventions but with an easy freedom that makes it seem as if Disher made the rules himself... A compulsive and unsettling novel that should win Disher many new readers</b>
<b>Disher doesn't just provide classy entertainment. His fiction is a kind of social barometer of prevailing tensions in the community, especially in the outlying badlands of Australia'
<b>This is classic Disher, the taut writing bringing a complex plot into as sharp relief as the vivid settings and dread-laden atmosphere do the fully rounded characters</b>
<b>Disher'
<b>A world-class police novel and Disher continues to be one of our best and most consistent crime novelists</b>
