In this thrilling police procedural set in Mount Macedon, Detective Sergeant Zoe Mayer and her service dog Harry are back and facing their toughest challenge yet. Perfect for fans of Garry Disher, Chris Hammer and JP Pomare.
‘A whip-smart read with a whole lot of heart. Harry the dog may well be my favourite character in crime fiction today.’ Loraine Peck, Ned Kelly Awards-winning author of The Second Son
An exquisite Young-Adult verse novel that delves into the pain of loss and shame, and the healing balm of friendship, from the highly acclaimed author of The Art of Taxidermy.
