Redemption Point #1 New York Times bestselling author Candice Fox delivers a compulsive new crime thriller, which sees Ted Conkaffey once again teaming up with an unlikely partner \u2013 this time the father of the girl he was accused of abducting . . .<\/p>\n When former police detective Ted Conkaffey was wrongly accused of abducting thirteen-year-old Claire Bingley, he hoped the Queensland rainforest town of Crimson Lake would be a good place to disappear. But nowhere is safe from Claire\u2019s devastated father.<\/p>\n Dale Bingley has a brutal revenge plan all worked out \u2013 and if Ted doesn\u2019t help find the real abductor, he\u2019ll be its first casualty.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in a dark roadside hovel called the Barking Frog Inn, the bodies of two young bartenders lie on the beer-sodden floor. It\u2019s Detective Inspector Pip Sweeney\u2019s first homicide investigation \u2013 complicated by the arrival of private detective Amanda Pharrell to \u2018assist\u2019 on the case. Amanda\u2019s conviction for murder a decade ago has left her with some odd behavioural traits, top-to-toe tatts \u2013 and a keen eye for killers.<\/p>\n For Ted and Amanda, the hunt for the truth will draw them into a violent dance with evil. Redemption is certainly on the cards \u2013 but it may well cost them their lives…<\/p>\n Marlborough Man by Alan Carter<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Under the Cold Bright Lights by Garry Disher<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The Lone Child by Anna George<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Crossing the Lines by Sulari Gentill<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The Student by Iain Ryan<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Best New Crime Fiction<\/strong><\/p>\n ‘He was still bleeding. I yelled, “Someone’s killed Father.” I breathed in kerosene air, licked the thickness from my teeth. The clock on the mantel ticked ticked. I looked at Father, the way hands clutched to thighs, the way the little gold ring on his pinky finger sat like a sun. I gave him that ring for his birthday when I no longer wanted it. “Daddy,” I had said. “I’m giving this to you because I love you.” He had smiled and kissed my forehead.<\/p>\n A long time ago now.’<\/p>\n On 4 August 1892 Andrew and Abby Borden were murdered in their home in Fall River, Massachusetts. During the inquest into the deaths, Lizzie Borden was arrested and charged with the murder of her father and her stepmother.<\/p>\n Through the eyes of Lizzie’s sister Emma, the housemaid Bridget, the enigmatic stranger Benjamin and the beguiling Lizzie herself, we return to what happened that day in Fall River.<\/p>\n Lizzie Borden took an axe.

I was two years out of high school. He’d already committed three murders. None of us knew.<\/p>\n ‘We knew he was a brothel owner, we knew not to get on his wrong side, but we knew nothing of his lives past: fitter and turner, ambulance officer, private investigator, car thief, hijacker, arsonist, mercenary, drug dealer. Murderer.<\/p>\n ‘I drank at The Burwood on and off for six years. The last time I saw Lindsey as a free man was in early 1994 when he came to a poker game at my home. By then he’d committed two more murders – on Valentine’s Day 1994 – and that made five.’<\/p>\n What factors are at play in the creation of a cold-blooded killer? How can a relaxed, sociable, loving man with a strong work ethic keep the truth of his inner life, his dark side, hidden from friends, family and even the woman he marries?<\/p>\n Informed by the science of criminal psychology, court documents and transcripts, correspondence and many interviews with Rose in the notorious Goulburn Supermax prison, Campbell McConachie’s account is a unique and fascinating journey into the life and mind of a multiple murderer.<\/p>\n The Contractor by Mark Abernethy<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Unmaking A Murder: The Mysterious Death of Anna Jane Cheney by Graham Archer<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n![\"ned](\"https:\/\/blog.booktopia.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/redemption-point-1.jpg\")
