NOTHING STAYS BURIED FOREVER
Stuart Milligan, a young construction worker, is left for dead in a building site in the heart of Perth, Western Australia. He has been beaten and tortured, the brutality of the attack clearly intended to send a message.
As Detective Tony Packer and his team trace Milligan's last movements and unravel the events surrounding the attack, other connections begin to move into focus. Milligan was secretly gathering information on the company running the building site, a company whose owner hides behind a network of shelf companies and offshore financiers.
Who was responsible for the attack on Milligan and who were they sending a message to?
Then, the body of a man is found in Perth's city centre. Shockingly, the dead man is well-known to the police. He is former detective, Frank McCain.
McCain disappeared months ago, leaving without warning and going into hiding. Unknown to the police, McCain was running his own investigation into the connections between a corrupt politician and a powerful property tycoon.
Why did McCain reappear?
Who is responsible for his murder?
As McCain's murder is investigated, suspicion falls on an unexpected suspect: Detective Tony Packer.
Under investigation, on the run and doubted by his own team, Packer must find the answers before it is too late.
For Packer, it is not just his career at risk.
It is his life.
Falls The Shadow is the sixth in a new series of knife-edge thrillers set in the underbelly of Perth, Western Australia, and concludes the story begun in A Bad Place Alone.
Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, Ian Rankin, Jack Gatland, JM Dalgliesh, Patricia Cornwell and other police procedural thrillers.
