Sergeant Ellen Destry -- newly minted head of her department's sex crime unit -- and Inspector Hal Challis return in this newest installment of Garry Disher's Peninsula-based crimes series. With meth-related crime on the rise, interdepartmental tensions mount, and Challis soon finds himself fighting to keep control of his case.
