About this ebook
'Excellent. Auhl deserves a series of his own' THE TIMES
'A superb chronicler of cop culture' SUNDAY TIMES
'Disher's sublime touch for atmosphere and tension permeate this absorbing, emotional story' DAILY MAIL
TIME WON'T BURY THE TRUTH
Sergeant Alan Auhl has come out of retirement. Once a shining light in Victoria's homicide squad, he now runs the Cold Case Unit, casting an experienced eye over unsolved murders and missing persons. The young detectives think he's washed up, but this doesn't faze Auhl. He does things his own way, and his way delivers.
Whether he's identifying a skeleton found under a concrete slab, gathering enough evidence to finally convict a doctor who killed three women, or answering a daughter's plea that her father's death was no accident, Auhl always gets results. Because every case, no matter how cold, deserves justice.
From the author of the beloved Paul Hirsch mysteries and Hal Challis investigations comes a riveting standalone, perfect for readers of Ian Rankin, Jane Harper and Chris Hammer.
