A gripping police procedural that tracks the investigation of a serial killer with a grudge against society. Another great instalment in sj brown’s Tas Noir ‘whydunnit’ series.
Detective Inspector John Mahoney and his investigators in the Homicide Squad are faced with a murderer intent on squaring up with his victims in a highly idiosyncratic manner. Faced with theatrically staged crime scenes Mahoney must harness the insights of a renowned behavioural psycholgist as well as utilising the skills of the Forensic Services Squad to track and attempt to comprehend the mindset of the perpetrator. Mahoney is in a race against time to apprehend a murderous foe…and to save one of his own.
‘sj brown’s Mahoney series is a nugget of Tasmanian gold – tautly plotted with forensic detail – DI Mahoney himself is refreshingly realistic and down-to-earth, easy to spend time with.’
