โฆ Synopsis
Whispering Death is the sixth Challis & Destry novel, by the winner of the Ned Kelly Award for Crime Fiction.
A rapist in police uniform stalks Challis's Peninsula beat, a serial armed robber is headed in his direction and a home invasion comes a little too close to home. Not to mention a very clever, very mysterious female cat burglar who may or may not be planning something on Challis's patch.
Garry Disher keeps the tension and intrigue ramped up exquisitely on multiple fronts, while he takes his regular characters in compelling new directions. Disher is a grand master of the police procedural, operating at the peak of his craft.
