As Whelan is drawn ever deeper into this tangled web, his childhood nemesis lurks menacingly on the edge of the action, and people are dropping like flies ..."


Enjoyable mystery novel, similar in style to Christopher Brookmyre, set in Melbourne.

I picked this book up at the book crossing meeting at the Tun in ednburgh on the 14th Nov. Never read anything by this author before, and I have to say that I found it a great read; plenty of mystery, suspense and not to mention a smattering of humour. Highly recommended. My partner want to read it so it will be back in the wild when she has read it...
