All My Enemies

In one of the finest and most pivotal books in the critically acclaimed Brock & Kolla series, DS Kathy Kolla reports to New Scotland Yard and to DCI Brock's Serious Crime Division.
Just before Kolla is to start her new job, a young woman is found viciously murdered in a leafy, well - heeled suburb, and the grotesque details of the slaughter appear to be well rehearsed, even theatrical. Assigned to the case, Kolla's only improbable lead draws her to a local amateur drama group. Once in their orbit, she is lured into a piece of theatre, over which, increasingly, she has little control. In All My Enemies, Brock and Kolla find themselves in a tangled web of secrets, lies and murder.
'Maitland's writing is suspenseful, gripping and frightening. His book is seductive, getting under the reader's skin and staying there. This is a fine example of modern thriller writing. Highly recommended.' Eastern Daily Press, UK
'Maitland is a masterful writer of crime fiction who, like Michael Dibdin, has a remarkable ability to juxtapose genres and create a book that will appeal to fans of both hard - boiled and clue - puzzle fiction. It's a book about deception in marriages, suburban life and the theatre that works sublimely on all levels.' Sydney Morning Herald
