AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In 1960s Sydney, a killer stalks the streets and one cop will risk everything to stop him. The calling card of the killer known as 'The Jeweller' is as elegant as it is gruesome: a pair of ring fingers, separated from their owners, encircled by a band of wire, delivered directly to Senior Detective Joe Capello. When the Jeweller taunts Joe and his team into meeting him in the diseased grounds of Barren Park, the consequences of that evening will have permanent repercussions for everyone involved. And for Joe, it gets personal. Two years later, Joe is off the force, but no less obsessed with the Jeweller and his horrific crimes. When a new parcel arrives at his home, Joe is invited back onto the task force and given the opportunity to redeem himself. But vindication relies on Joe finally capturing The Jeweller and now he has to decide if he's willing to do what it takes a whatever it takes a to finally bring this case to a close. For fans of Greg Woodland, Matt Nable, and Chris Hammer comes a twisting thriller about the past, the present, and the hope of a future.' (Publication summary)
