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.
