A MOTHER'S SECRETS CAN BE DEADLY
Winter is closing in on the Mornington Peninsula, and the coastal community of Waterloo are looking for ways to keep warm. But things start to heat up for Detective Inspector Hal Challis when Janine McQuarrie is shot in a quiet country lane, her terrified daughter watching from the car.
But as the compromising discoveries of the McQuarries' personal lives come to light, Challis and Sergeant Ellen Destry are faced with another complication - the victim's father-in-law: bureaucrat, golfer and their Superintendent. It seems everyone has something to hide this winter. But can the secrets be uncovered before a killer strikes again?
From the multiple Ned Kelly Award-winning author of Consolation and Day's End comes the third Hal Challis investigation, for readers of Jane Harper, Ian Rankin and Chris Hammer.
