Kittyhawk Down is the second novel featuring Inspector Challis and Sergeant Destry. An unidentified man is fished out of the sea with an anchor strapped to his waist. For Detective Inspector Hal Challis, this marks the beginning of a chilling series of shotgun killings.

As Challis investigates, a farmer on the peninsula erupts into violence, becoming the target of a massive manhunt. Meanwhile, Challis's own emotional life is strained, and some of his police colleagues have allowed their public and private responsibilities to blur.

Then, Challis finds some aerial photographs in the possession of his friend, Kitty, that link her to the murders.

Kittyhawk Down is the second novel in the Hal Challis series. After its publication in German, Disher topped the KrimiWelt-Bestenliste in July and August 2005. This list is voted on by 17 specialty crime booksellers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, commissioned by Die Welt, Nordwest Radio, and Arte, the arts TV channel.
