The past is never over. She will make sure of it.Cold Case Detective Rachael Schlank is dedicated to her job and to justice, she knows all too well the cost of violent crime. When a duck hunter is shot dead in Rachael's old beat, the murderer leaves a clue that the crime is linked to her cold case, the long-ago deaths of two animal activists. When a second hunter is killed, she is drafted to the taskforce investigating the new murders, as is a former colleague, whose dangerous temper has already made its mark on her career.With few clues and an eye-for-an-eye killer on the loose, the detectives must solve the case fast. In the process, Rachael¿s mind is opened to the sentience of animals, and she comes to understand that morality, legality and the truth are not always aligned. The book has been described as a cross between Gillian Flynn¿s `Gone Girl¿ and Michael Connelly¿s `Bosch¿ series."A compelling novel about the charged, ambiguous line between love and hate, between the desire for justice and the desire for revenge."Kate RyanWinner, Writer's Prize,2015 Melbourne Prize for Literature"A fast-moving, thought-provoking read from a powerful and original new voice."
