Get Even is the 3rd in the Luke Dunlop series by Peter Corris. Once again, ex-cop and Witness Protection Unit officer Luke Dunlop is on the job. This time the subject is another ex-cop, David Scanlon, corrupt and about to turn whistle-blower on some of his Police colleagues and publishing mogul Thomas Kippax. Luke’s task is to keep David and his wife, Lucy, and 16-year-old daughter, Mirabelle, safe until David can testify to the State Counter Corruption Authority, then organise identity change, re-documentation and relocation for them. Luke’s problems start in earnest when Mirabelle goes missing from the Safe House. Corris gives us a great plot, believable characters and authentic dialogue. As always, his descriptions of police procedure and witness protection are very realistic. Police corruption forms a major part of the story: I do hope there’s at least a few cops left in NSW who aren’t. This novel has more golf than I’d like, quite a bit of sex, violence, some humour and several deaths, not all of them murders. I wonder if there will more Luke Dunlop adventures. ( )
