Set in Sydney, this dark, morally ambiguous and adrenaline-charged new series is a triumphant change of direction for Barry Maitland.


Homicide detective Harry Belltree wouldn't usually be looking too hard at an elderly couple's suicide pact. Especially now, when his brother-in-law Greg has just been stabbed to death. But it seems Greg and the old couple had ties to the same man, a bent moneylender with friends in high places-and low.

Harry can't get officially involved in Greg's murder, but he suspects a link with two other mysterious deaths- his parents'. And when he goes off-grid to investigate, that's when things start to get dangerous.

Set in Sydney, this dark, morally ambiguous and adrenaline-charged new series is a triumphant change of direction for Barry Maitland.
Industry Reviews

`Arguably one of the top five crime writers in the world.'

* Australian *
'Maitland shows his stuff as a writer, belting to a truly gripping conclusion...this is classy stuff and a pleasure to read.' * Age on Bright Air *
'Maitland has always been a notable spinner of mysteries...continues to extend his range, depth and mastery into Ruth Rendell territory.' * Kirkus Reviews on Babel *
'An unqualified triumph and Aussie hardboiled crime fiction at its very best.' * West Australian *
'Pacy and punchy.' * Sunday Age *
'Top-quality mystery.' * Manly Daily *
'A terrifically exciting novel.' * Canberra Times *
`Maitland just gets better, and he's long been, if quietly, one of the very best...the writing is lean and top-knotch as always.' * Weekend Herald *
'Crucifixion Creek...takes off at a frantic gallop towards a heart-thumping finale that promises only a brief respite. Be prepared to stay up late.' * Saturday Age *
`An adrenalin filled ride through Sydney's seedy underbelly.' * AustCrimeFiction.org *
`A hard-boiled plummet into damaged lives.' * Weekend Australian *
'Well written with an elaborate plot, this fast-paced novel explores some aspects of the racial divide in Australia. Recommend for Claire McNab readers or anyone who likes police procedurals.' * STARRED Review, Library Journal *
'Unlike the 12 cases Maitland set Kolla and Brock, this one expresses its moral complications through nonstop action. First of a series. Though you'll wonder early and often how Harry can possibly survive for any sequels, you'll hope again and again to be proved wrong.' * STARRED Review, Kirkus *
