Description
Compelling, propulsive and darkly funny, this is a perfect follow-up to Jack Heath's bestselling Kill Your Husbands.
Detective Sergeant Kiara Lui has just broken up a very loud and very public fistfight between two blokes in the main street of the small town of Warrigal. But just as she's leaving the scene, a man inexplicably plummets from the sky and slams into the bike rack right in front of her, dead.
The only place he could have fallen from is the library's roof and Kiara, after running through scenarios of suicide or tragic accident, realises there could be much more in play and locks the doors of the building. With no possible movement in or out, the library holds a handful of suspects. If it's murder, one of them must be guilty. And Kiara quickly finds out that the library is sheltering more than one person with reasons to kill this boss.
Jack Heath triumphs again in this twisty, tense tale of missing persons, blackmail and murder.
Praise for Jack Heath:
'There are two brain-teasing mysteries at play here: One, an expertly crafted locked room puzzle to solve. Two ... how is Jack Heath just so damn good?' - Benjamin Stevenson
'A twisted and devious ride.' - Hayley Scrivenor
'Jack Heath writes killer reads.' - Tim Ayliffe
