"A meth-addicted biker shoots a woman during a police siege. An elderly couple commit suicide on the terrace of their favorite café. An unidentified white male is stabbed to death in the street. For Sydney homicide detective Harry Belltree, not long out of the military and a grueling tour of Afghanistan, these three deaths appear to be just another day at the office. Until, that is, he identifies the stabbing victim as his own brother-in-law Greg, and journalist Kelly Pool suggests there's a link between the three incidents. It seems Greg and the old couple had ties to the same man, a corrupt money man with a murky past and friends in both high places and low. Harry Belltree can't get officially involved in Greg's murder, but he's not going to leave it in the hands of others. That's when he goes off-grid to investigate the links between these deaths. That's when things start to get dangerous"--… (més)

A quick police procedural, that takes place in Australia. A cop who doesn't play by the rules Harry Belltree, is a cop who gets what he needs any way he can.
I look forward to the next book in the series. ( )

My main reason for re-reading this title is that I have decided to read the two remaining novels in the trilogy, and couldn't trust my memory of the first novel.

The author says in his Afterword that "Harry Belltree is an entirely fictitious character and his activities in no way represent the real behaviors of the New South Wales police." However it does show corruption and self-serving among police, politicians, and bikie gangs. There is a horrendous level of violence, and Harry Belltree, ex-soldier who served in Afghanistan, is really a loose cannon. His wife, blinded in the car crash that killed his parents, has become an IT expert who can break into security systems, wipe CCTV records, and disable alarm systems.

A good novel that fairly gallops along. ( )

This was a real page turner, and I liked all the investigators. It was a little dark and I am glad I didn't read the earlier instalment about Flora. The whole plot was borderline believable, but the pace carried me along, apart from the very end: I find it laughable that [a hitman would refuse to be called off - surely they'd take the money and stay in and watch TV.

Copper looses his parents & wife blinded. Bikes pedefiles developers & a copper who will pull the trigger all work to a good conclusion ( )

After reading "Ash Island" (Book2 in the Belltree Trilogy), I thought I'd better read Book 1. So I have. Knowing some of the future story didn't hurt much and the details were filled in nicely. Maitland writes in a straightforward linear way which makes for an easy (and fast) read. There's plenty of action, mostly murderous, and the main character, Harry Belltree, is amazing, occasionally lucky, and particularly ruthless. ( )
