Shortlisted Ned Kelly Award / Best Novel 2015

'One of the top five crime writers in the world.'
The Australian

Homicide detective Harry Belltree wouldn’t usually be looking too hard at an elderly couple’s suicide pact. Especially now, when his brother-in-law Greg has just been stabbed to death. But it seems Greg and the old couple had ties to the same man, a bent moneylender with friends in high places – and low. Harry can’t get officially involved in Greg’s murder, but he suspects a link with two other mysterious deaths: his parents’. And when he goes off-grid to investigate, that’s when things start to get dangerous. Set in Sydney, this dark, morally ambiguous and adrenaline-charged new series is a triumphant change of direction for Barry Maitland.

'Crucifixion Creek... takes off at a frantic gallop towards a heart-thumping finale that promises only a brief respite. Be prepared to stay up late.'
The Age

'Maitland has always been a notable spinner of mysteries ... continues to extend his range, depth and mastery into Ruth Rendell territory.'
Kirkus Reviews

'An unqualified triumph and Aussie hardboiled crime fiction at its very best.'
The West Australian

'Pacy and punchy.'
The Sunday Age
