A MAN OF GOD IS NOT WITHOUT SIN
School’s out on the Mornington Peninsula, and the small town of Waterloo has become a hotbed for rowdy teenagers and petty crimes. Waterloo Police are struggling with the caseload, and Detective Inspector Hal Challis is desperate for a week without major crimes.
But when a prestigious school’s chaplain is beaten to the brink of death, Challis’s workload takes a turn for the worse. When a local woman turns up dead, the hunt for a killer is on…
From the multiple Ned Kelly Award-winning author of Consolation and Day’s End comes the fifth Hal Challis investigation, for readers of Jane Harper, Ian Rankin and Chris Hammer.
