'A SUPERB CHRONICLER OF COP CULTURE' - _SUNDAY TIMES_ 'DISHER IS THE GOLD STANDARD FOR RURAL NOIR' - CHRIS HAMMER 'THE EQUAL OF JOSEPH WAMBAUGH AND JAMES LEE BURKE' - _THE TIMES_ EVERY MAN HAS A BREAKING POINT Calm never lasts on the Mornington Peninsula, especially for Detective Inspector Hal Challis. Today, he's dealing with a serial armed robber, a brutal home invasion and a mysterious cat burglar, not to mention the offender disguised in a police uniform stalking his beat. But with Sergeant Ellen Destry away, a boss who's more committed to budget cuts than police work, and a team that struggle to separate personal lives from professional duties, one more case could be enough to push Challis to breaking point. FROM THE MULTIPLE NED KELLY AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF _CONSOLATION_ AND _SANCTUARY_ COMES THE SIXTH HAL CHALLIS INVESTIGATION, FOR READERS OF JANE HARPER, IAN RANKIN AND CHRIS HAMMER.
