A MAN OF GOD IS NOT WITHOUT SIN
School's out on the Mornington Peninsula, and the small town of Waterloo has become a hotbed for petty crimes. The Waterloo Police Department are struggling with the caseload, and Detective Inspector Hal Challis is desperate for a week without major crimes.
But when a prestigious school's chaplain is beaten to the brink of death, the team's workload takes a turn for the worse. Then a local woman is found dead, and the hunt for a killer is on...
From the multiple Ned Kelly Award-winning author of Consolation and Day's End comes the fifth Hal Challis investigation, for readers of Jane Harper, Ian Rankin and Chris Hammer.
Garry Disher has published over sixty titles across multiple genres and is best known as Australia's King of Crime. He has won the Deutscher Krimi Preis four times, the Ned Kelly Award three times, and in 2018 he received the Ned Kelly Lifetime Achievement Award.
