***The irrepressible Detective Ange Watson is back for the gripping second instalment of the Saltwater Crimes Trilogy.***
Ange’s return to her beat in Byron Bay certainly doesn’t go to plan. Some deep soul searching is needed when her reputation is left in tatters. Her fixation on the criminal syndicate behind the Namba Heads tragedies leads her to adopt the persona of a shady cop and head north to the glittering Gold Coast. **All that glitters is definitely not gold!**
With some newfound surf buddies to keep her company and aided by a surprising and thrilling reunion, she uncovers shocking alliances and a sleazy kingpin pulling the strings. Narcotics, gambling and deception collide, and Ange must use every ounce of her skill and intuition to decipher the ingenious scam that the syndicate has in play. Her relentless pursuit becomes a race against time when some giant egos with lofty connections pile on pressure to abandon the chase. At every step, the villains seem one step ahead, almost taunting and teasing Ange and her colleagues. **Be careful who you trust, Ange. Nothing is as it seems…* **** Dive deeper into The Saltwater Crimes trilogy. Get GlitterStrip Now!***
*The Saltwater Crime novels are evocative Australian surf noir (if that’s not a thing, it should be), a cross between Garry Disher and early Don Winslow, and combine environmental activism, political corruption, star chamber hearings, suspicious property developers, and a few sexy bits. Highly recommended!!* ***Sarah Elks, book reviewer and senior journalist at The Australian newspaper.***
