ONLY FIRE WILL REVEAL THE TRUTH

It's bushfire season and pressure is building for the Waterloo Police Department. Two bodies have been found in a burnt-out car, and Detective Inspector Hal Challis suspects that they are linked to the sudden increase in drug suppliers flooding the Mornington Peninsula.

When Melbourne's Major Drug Division starts blocking his every move, Challis is certain of the connection. But with the team occupied by the hunt for a serial predator, an investigation into elusive hitmen and the discovery of an abandoned meth lab, it seems fires are the least of Waterloo's problems.

From the multiple Ned Kelly Award-winning author of Consolation and Day's End comes the final Hal Challis investigation, for readers of Jane Harper, Ian Rankin and Chris Hammer.
