NOBODY SHOULD DIE ALONEA woman is bound and garrotted, her naked corpse dumped in an alley in the city’s red light district.
Using a false identity, she is part of the hidden population that lives in the city’s underground. Desperate and far from home, she has become prey for something evil.
Newly promoted, Tony Packer heads the team hunting her killer. Tracing the few leads they have, they uncover a world of slum landlords, people smugglers and migrant exploitation.
And they discover she was not the first to disappear.
Under pressure to get a quick result, Packer’s team begins to close in on the obvious suspect.
But there are pieces that don’t fit, things that don’t make sense. Something darker lurks beneath the surface, just out of Packer's sight.
Can he find the answers before the killer strikes again?
A Bad Place Alone is the first in a new series of knife-edge thrillers set in the underbelly of Perth, Western Australia, based on the real-life experiences of former prosecutor, JT Viner.
Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, Ian Rankin, Jack Gatland, JM Dalgleish, Patricia Cornwell and other police procedural thrillers.
