Kittyhawk Down

'A superb chronicler of cop culture' - SUNDAY TIMES 'Disher is the gold standard for rural noir' - CHRIS HAMMER 'The equal of Joseph Wambaugh and James Lee Burke' - THE TIMES EVERY COLD CASE DESERVES JUSTICE A cloud of despondency hangs over the Mornington Peninsula. A decomposing corpse is fished out the sea, though remains unidentifiable. A two-year-old is missing, but without sufficient evidence the Waterloo Police can't charge their lead suspect. And what was a simple case of burning letterboxes has quickly escalated into torched stolen cars. Something has got to give. But then Detective Inspector Hal Challis gets a call from his friend, aerial photographer Kitty Casement. Someone's damaged her plane, leaving her life at risk. Is this another case doomed to run cold, or could it provide the break they all need? From the multiple Ned Kelly Award-winning author of Consolation and Day's End comes the second Hal Challis investigation, for readers of Jane Harper, Ian Rankin and Chris Hammer.
