Terrific... Grabs you by the throat and never slackens its hold Christos Tsiolkas, author of The Slap A rattling plot-driven thriller that is not for the faint-hearted... never takes a predictable turn The Age Viskic's characterisation, dialogue and plotting are on par with some of the heavyweights of crime writing Sydney Morning Herald A compelling, highly recommended read. Books+Publishing An outstanding debut novel from an author you'd hope is busy on the next instalment right now The Newtown Review of Books A tour-de-force excursion into good, evil, and the labyrinth of human motivations.

When his friend Frankie, a former cop, offers to help, they soon discover the killer is on their tail. IT MIGHT JUST SAVE HIS LIFE Sensing that his ex-wife may also be in danger, Caleb insists they return to their hometown of Resurrection Bay. But here he learns that everyone - including his murdered friend - is hiding something. And the deeper he digs, the darker the secrets...
