A MAN OF GOD IS NOT WITHOUT SIN
School's out on the Mornington Peninsula, and the small town of Waterloo has become a hotbed for petty crimes. The Waterloo Police Department are struggling with the caseload, and Detective Inspector Hal Challis is desperate for a week without major crimes.
But when a prestigious school's chaplain is beaten to the brink of death, the team's workload takes a turn for the worse. Then a local woman is found dead, and the hunt for a killer is on...
From the multiple Ned Kelly Award-winning author of Consolation and Day's End comes the fifth Hal Challis investigation, for readers of Jane Harper, Ian Rankin and Chris Hammer.
