Australia, 1963. When a sinister series of murders are covered up by the police, two broken detectives step forward to end the injustice. They must contend with their personal demons while navigating a war for control of the city's criminal underworld if they are to bring an end to the Devil in the red dirt, a killer who embodies the spirit of cultural and social cleansing.

If you enjoyed the Australian setting of The Dry by Jane Harper, or dark mystery/thrillers by Jo Nesbo, Lee Child, Gregg Olsen, JM Dalgliesh, LJ Ross, and Damien Boyd. You are going to love this.

*This book features colourful language and several incidents of cold and uncaring characters doing cold and uncaring things. Not for the faint of heart.
