Description
Gemma Lincoln, who last featured in FEEDING THE DEMONS, is trying to discover who has been raping and murdering street girls from Kings Cross. Parallel cases follow the suspicious death of a high profile Sydney businessman and philanthropist, and an utterly ruthless drug dealer whose hobby is maintaining a small zoo of poisonous snakes.In addition to these enquiries, Gemma has to contend with sabotage from within her own small organisation and pangs of jealousy over boyfriend Steve, whose show more own undercover work involves getting up close and personal with an extremely beautiful society woman. How much is Steve acting a role and how much is he really involved with the woman? Always haunted by the insecurities of her past, Gemma struggles to pull her life together in increasingly sinister circumstances.As always, Lord combines her up-to the-minute forensic knowledge with storytelling skills, which keep the reader glued to the page. show lessTags

This was excellent, a real page turner. I read another book by Gabrielle Lord a very long time ago, and I really enjoyed that too. I think I should read more.
Possibly one of the things that appeals to me is that these are set in Australia, and they're just as good a crime novel as any you'd read by some of the more well known international authors.
I bought one of her books for Megan for midsummer. Time for her to reciprocate and lend some to me!
