<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The final book in the Belltree Trilogy--tightly-paced police procedurals set in Australia. From the author of the Brock & Kolla mysteries.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Harry Belltree's obsessive pursuit of justice has cost him everything--his job in homicide, his marriage and his newborn child. He has nothing left to lose, or so he thinks. Then his estranged wife disappears, leaving their baby daughter behind. The police think Jenny has murdered a man. Harry thinks she's in danger. When severed limbs are found dangling from the branches of trees in a suburban park, Harry's former colleagues are pulled off Jenny's case. It's up to Harry to track his missing wife down on his own. And to lay bare, at last, the extraordinary conspiracy that led to his parents' murder.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>'The Belltree novels are almost hypnotically compelling--impossible to look away from, despite the violence on view. Readers unfamiliar with the first two parts of the trilogy may want to start with them before reading this one, which picks up on important plot threads first spun earlier. Up-to-speed readers, however, will be thrilled to get this finale in their hands at last and even more excited as they read it. A stunning conclusion to a remarkable trilogy that deserves a much wider audience than it has so far garnered.'--<i>Booklist</i> [STARRED]; 'The stirring conclusion to Ned Kelly Award-winner Maitland's Belltree trilogy...Fans of hard-hitting crime fiction will be sorry to see the last of Harry.'--<i>Publishers Weekly</i>; 'Well written with an elaborate plot, this fast-paced novel explores some aspects of the racial divide in Australia. Recommend for Claire McNab readers or anyone who likes police procedurals.'--STARRED review, <i>Library Journal</i> on <i>Crucifixion Creek</i>; 'Unlike the 12 cases Maitland set Kolla and Brock, this one expresses its moral complications through nonstop action. First of a series. Though you'll wonder early and often how Harry can possibly survive for any sequels, you'll hope again and again to be proved wrong.'--STARRED Review, <i>Kirkus</i>, on <i>Crucifixion Creek</i>; 'Maitland adroitly balances multiple characters and plot lines, weaving together apparent coincidences into a complex, compelling tale of far-reaching greed and corruption. Armchair travellers will enjoy this foray Down Under, and the heart-wrenching ending is sure to leave them eager for the trilogy's final volume.'--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> on <i>Ash Island</i>; 'Satisfyingly rich fare for puzzle addicts and conspiracy theorists alike, capped by a string of climactic fireworks that are still exploding in the very last paragraph.' <i>Kirkus</i> on <i>Chelsea Mansions</i>; 'Meticulous, psychologically astute.' <i>Entertainment Weekly</i> on <i>No Trace</i> 'Maitland interweaves a smart plot, which includes a few shockers and more than a few Cold War roots, with major character developments for Brock and Kolla... A top-notch series.' <i>Richmond Times-Dispatch</i>; 'Intriguing and cleverly constructed.' <i>Booklist</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Barry Maitland was born in Scotland and in 1984 moved to Australia to head a university architecture school.
