The second title in Barry Maitland's gripping 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.
