Footballer, lover, detective, reluctant 'suburban boy' - Snowy Lane turns his gaze on himself and the place of his birth; the bands, the derbies, the pubs, the America's Cup, the entrepreneurs, the politicians, the backroom players, the cafe scene, the suburbs, the hills, are brought into fond and ironic focus as Snowy closes on Mr Gruesome and finds the beginnings of his own redemption. Dave Warner's first novel is inventive, energetic, irreverent and above all, a rivetting thriller. (Publisher's blurb inside front cover).

'A violent death by crucifixion near a remote north-west station has Detective Inspector Dan Clement and his Broome police officers disturbed and baffled. Other local incidents – the theft of explosives from a Halls Creek mine site, social justice protests at an abattoir, a break-in at a childhealth care clinic – seem mundane by comparison. But as Clement starts to make troubling connections between each crime, he finds himself caught in a terrifying race. In a landmass larger than Western Europe, he must identify and protect an unknown target before it is blown to bits by an invisible enemy.' (Publication summary)
