Publisher's Synopsis
Detective Ange Watson is tougher than she looks, even tougher than she realises. Which is just as well...
When asked to find a young surfer who vanished from a nearby fishing village, Ange feels confident she'll solve the matter quickly, leaving the weekend free to enjoy the beach and catch some awesome waves. It's ironic how the simple jobs are the ones that turn to custard.
As Ange dives deeper into the case, she's swept up in a frantic chase to expose the truth and prevent further carnage. Every turn reveals yet another disturbing connection. There's something sinister circling Namba Heads, something bigger and more treacherous than she ever imagined. It's not all hard work. The waves are fantastic and she loves the look of that mysterious property developer she meets while surfing. Fingers crossed he doesn't turn into another of her patented 'Male Fails'. Everything is connected Ange-watch your step. Something stinks in town, and it's not dead fish...Immerse yourself in The Saltwater Crimes trilogy now!"The Saltwater Crime novels are evocative Australian surf noir (if that's not a thing, it should be), a cross between Garry Disher and early Don Winslow, and combine environmental activism, political corruption, star chamber hearings, suspicious property developers, and a few sexy bits. Highly recommended!!" Sarah Elks, book reviewer and senior journalist at The Australian newspaper.
"Gripping from Beginning to End. Tombstoning is the best kind of crime novel...grabs you early on, loads of nasty characters who seem okay initially...couldn't put it down!" DJG
