Paperback: Detective Sergeant Brian Shaw is transferred to a country town.
Just an ordinary, average Australian country town where nothing ever happens - except blackmail, fornication, embezzlement, revenge, avarice, brutality, snobbery, rape and murder.
Like any other ordinary, average Australian country town in God-fearing 1950.
