Publisher's Summary

In the coastal township of Girrawandi, in far North Queensland, a schoolgirl has been murdered and Detective Ken Lincoff arrives from Brisbane to investigate. There's not much to go on – until the murder of a second girl, then more victims, sends Lincoff on a trail that leads to the destructive secret at the heart of one family.

Lincoff has much to deal with: a local cop who chills out on illicit substances, an alcoholic dentist with a taste for gossip, a very attractive fisherman with inside knowledge and Lincoff's struggle with his own fatal taste for alcohol. Add to this a population that thrives on rumours and a wet season that's the worst for years.

As Detective Lincoff you heard David Roberts, as Bruce – Tony Lewellyn-Jones. As Kath – Lisa Hensley and as Seargent Scott – Joel Edgerton. Others in the cast include Andrea Moor, David Field, Kris McQuade, Matthew Edgerton, Anthony Phelan, Jessica Napier, Nicholas Papademetriou, Desmond Connellan and Sarah Aubrey.

horrible

I found it appealing in the beginning. Part way through, I was finding it repulsive. (I had enjoyed Louis Nowra's books up until now.
