About This Item
Soho Crime, 2005. Near Fine. Australian author Disher delivers an intelligent, atmospheric police proced ural, the first of a new series. A serial killer targeting young women alon g the isolated Old Peninsula Highway has baffled Detective Inspector Hal Ch allis and his staff. Himself a resident of the Peninsula, as the locals cal l the sleepy "comma of land hooking into the sea south-east of Melbourne," Challis leads a solitary life. We soon learn that his wife Angela has spent the last seven years in prison for conspiring with her lover to murder him . Nicknamed "the dragon man," Challis in his spare time obsessively restore s a vintage airplane, a Dragon Rapide. Indeed, as we meet the other police officers, it becomes clear that they're as interesting, not to mention as c omplex and morally ambiguous, as any of the criminals they seek. Pam Murphy , for instance, is an idealistic young constable recovering from a car cras h and a nervous breakdown, and Sergeant Kees van Alphen raids the evidence locker for cocaine, which he trades for sex. Fans of such gritty yet cerebr al crime novelists as Ian Rankin and Jack Harvey should be well pleased.
