Detective Sergeant Rebecca Harpin is drawn unwittingly into a compromising situation when a friend calls asking for her help. Rebecca arrives at a crime scene which has been unreported to police by her friend, Carolyn, a prominent Melbourne barrister, and Rebecca (Bec) is left to explain to her superiors what she is doing there.
So begins a story involving theft, fraud, deception and murder. Bec and her colleagues, fellow detectives Shaun and Wendy, are meticulous in tracking down clues into two suspicious deaths, while at the same time Bec is baffled by Carolyn’s strange behaviour. A beautiful actress and the unfathomable (to me) world of crypto currency become pieces of the puzzle snd Bec, Shaun and Wendy have to work hard to fit it all together.
On the personal side Josh, the man Bec had stopped seeing when she saw him with someone else, reappears. Bec is completely caught up with her investigation and doesn’t know if she can, or if she wants to, make time to let him back into her life.
Good crime stories are distinguished by the strength and individuality of their characters and by the settings in which they are placed. Rozzi Bazzani’s are based in the state of Victoria and this one has the cafe culture of Melbourne, the peace and quite of a mountain getaway and the beautiful beaches of the coast.
Where will Bec Harpin turn up next?
