âOne of the stand-out crime thrillers of the last few years'
The Chronicle
Â
Hades Archer surrounds himself with the things others leave behind. Their trash becomes the twisted sculptures that line his junkyard. The bodies they want disposed of become his problem â for a fee.
Then one night a man arrives on his doorstep, clutching a small bundle that he wants âlost'. And Hades makes a decision that will change everything â¦
Twenty years later, homicide detective Frank Bennett feels like the luckiest man on the force when he meets his new partner, the dark and beautiful Eden Archer. But there's something strange about Eden and her brother, Eric. Something he can't quite put his finger on.
At first, as they race to catch a very different kind of serial killer, his partner's sharp instincts come in handy. But soon Frank's wondering if she's as dangerous as the man they hunt.
Â
A dark, compelling and original thriller that will have you spellbound from its atmospheric opening pages to its shocking climax.

Amid Gallipoli's slaughter he hunted a murderer â¦
Â
It is 1915 and Thomas Clare rues the day he and his best friend Snow went to war to solve the murder of his father.
The only clues â a hidden wartime document and the imprint of an army boot on the victim's face â have led the pair from the safety of Queensland to the blood-soaked hills of Gallipoli.
Now not only are Thomas's enemies on every side â from the Turkish troops bearing down on the Anzac lines, to the cold-blooded killer in his own trench â but they are as far away as London and Berlin.
For, unbeknown to Thomas, the path to murder began thirteen years earlier in Africa with the execution of Breaker Morant â and a secret that could change the course of history â¦
Â
A powerful novel set in Gallipoli, that's part war-story and part mystery.
