About this audiobook
Meet Cato Kwong – disgraced cop and ex-poster boy for the police force.
The world is in economic meltdown, but a mining town on the edge of nowhere is booming. With the town's population exploding, it's easy enough to hide a crime—or even a dirty past. Banished to the stock squad after the fallout from a police frame-up, Detective Senior Sergeant Cato Kwong is brought in from the cold to solve the case of a torso washed up on the wild shores of the Great Southern Ocean. When Kwong's investigation lifts the lid on the exploitation of migrant workers and disturbs an even darker criminal mind, the fallen cop faces powerful opposition. Drawing in globally relevant issues, such as immigration, racism, and the economic crisis, this is a humorous and tightly plotted crime narrative.
‘A gripping read. So real I had to wipe the blood off my fingertips.' DAVE WARNER
‘Alan Carter takes us into the dark underside of the mining boom in an atmospheric and sharply written thriller.' SATURDAY AGE
