Description
Book Two in the Belltree Trilogy
Detective Sergeant Harry Belltree, back on the job after a near-fatal confrontation with corrupt colleagues, has become a departmental embarrassment. The solution is a posting away from Sydney and a quiet life in Newcastle.
Or maybe not so quiet. A body’s been found buried just offshore on Ash Island; there may be more. There’s also Harry’s unfinished business. The car crash that killed his parents and blinded his wife happened not far from Newcastle. And Harry knows it was no accident.
The other unfinished business is Jenny’s longed-for pregnancy. Which means that now the stakes are higher than ever.
Book One of the Belltree Trilogy was the acclaimed Crucifixion Creek.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
‘One of the top five crime writers in the world.’—Australian
‘Maitland shows his stuff as a writer, belting to a truly gripping conclusion…classy stuff and a pleasure to read.’—Age on Bright Air
‘Maitland has always been a notable spinner of mysteries…continues to extend his range, depth and mastery into Ruth Rendell territory.’—Kirkus Reviews on Babel
‘Crucifixion Creek…takes off at a frantic gallop towards a heart-thumping finale that promises only a brief respite. Be prepared to stay up late.’—Age
‘A hard-boiled plummet into damaged lives.’—Australian
‘Well
written with an elaborate plot, this fast-paced novel explores some
aspects of the racial divide in Australia. Recommend for Claire McNab
readers or anyone who likes police procedurals.’—STARRED review, Library Journal on
Crucifixion Creek
‘Unlike the 12 cases Maitland set Kolla and Brock, this one expresses its moral complications through nonstop action. First of a series. Though you’ll wonder early and often how Harry can possibly survive for any sequels, you’ll hope again and again to be proved wrong.’—STARRED review, Kirkus on Crucifixion Creek
