THERE’S DANGER ON THE OPEN ROAD
Summer is approaching on the Mornington Peninsula. The heat is ramping up, a drought has been forecast, and Detective Inspector Hal Challis is already recycling his shower water and dreading the upcoming holiday madness.
But then he’s called to the sleepy town of Waterloo, where there’s something more to fear. Women are being abducted, their bodies found along the Old Highway. The media demand answers, and with a team who cause as much trouble as they solve, Challis is under increasing pressure. But this killer’s business is far from over…
From the multiple Ned Kelly Award-winning author of Consolation and Day’s End comes the first Hal Challis investigation, for readers of Jane Harper, Ian Rankin and Chris Hammer.
