After the Flood

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The thrilling third instalment in the award-winning Dan Clement series, described by reviewers as 'Aussie noir at its best.'

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 child-health 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.
