The Long Game

A tightly-wound debut crime novel set in Melbourne and surrounds, for fans of Sarah Bailey, Garry Disher and J. M. Green.

A summer of relentless heat. A local surfer named Ray Carlson is found dead in a house not far from Portsea back beach. There’s a silver-handled kitchen knife deep in his chest, and blood everywhere. Detective Sergeant Zoe Mayer is scarcely back from extended leave, and still wrestling with her demons, but she is assigned the case, alongside her new service dog, Harry, whose instincts help her in unexpected ways. There’s an obvious suspect for the murder, and Zoe makes an arrest. But it’s all too neat, and none of Zoe’s colleagues believes her theory that the whole thing is a stitch-up. Except now someone is trying to hunt Zoe down. Superbly plotted, and vividly set in the beachside suburbs and hilly retreats around Melbourne, The Long Game is a mystery about a tough and clever investigator who won’t give up. ‘Beautifully written, this clever crime thriller kept me hooked till the end.’ SARA FOSTER, bestselling author of You Don’t Know Me ‘A sharply written, vividly set page-turner, inhabited by memorable characters, including Harry the loyal service dog.’ TANIA CHANDLER, author of All That I Remember About Dean Cola ‘The Long Game is a nail-biting ride. Detective Sergeant Zoe Mayer and her service dog, Harry, kept me enthralled to the end.’ GREG WOODLAND, author of The Night Whistler
