Publisher's Synopsis
In the tiny outback town of Colombo Creek, Reverend Charles Albertson makes a gruesome discovery. One of his parishioners, a quiet, reclusive man is found mutilated and murdered. Detective Inspector Roger Dark is dispatched from the city to investigate. As DI Dark's investigation into the vicious murder of Eduardo Ceasere proceeds, he learns that there is more to the murder than a simple crime of passion. Ceasere's past is revealed, providing vital clues to his killer's identity and his motive for the slaying. Now DI Dark must track down the killer and bring him to justice, and he has to do it before his quarry catches up with the only witness to the crime, Ceasere's missing fourteen year old daughter.
