About this eBook
FIVE WITNESSES. FIVE DIFFERENT STORIES. WHO IS THE KILLER?
'A rising star of Australian crime fiction' SUNDAY TIMES
'S. R. White is the real deal' CHRIS HAMMER
In the courtyard of the Pacific Heights building, a local waitress is found dead.
Five apartments overlook the murder scene. Five people witnessed a crime take place.
Finding the killer should be simple.
Except none of the witnesses' stories match.
They all saw something - from a different angle, at a different time.
None of them saw everything. Anyone could be the killer.
Detectives Carl "Bluey" Blueson and Lachlan Dyson, each with their own careers in peril, must solve what others assume is a straightforward case. But to unmask a killer they must unpick a complex puzzle - where the motivations of the witnesses are as mystifying as the crime itself.
How can you solve a crime if anyone could be lying?
Praise for S. R. White:
'A taut, beautifully observed slow-burner with an explosive finish' PETER MAY
'Original, compelling and highly recommended' CHRIS HAMMER
'Gripping' THE GUARDIAN
'A fascinating case' SUNDAY TIMES
'It draws you in - and rewards with a truly powerful ending' HEAT
'This slow-burn novel catches light' THE SUN
'The story takes place over less than 48 hours but the pace is slow-burn, relying on considerable psychological depth...the denouement hits like a knockout punch' WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN
'A dark and compulsive read' WOMAN & HOME
