Stone Town

PENGUIN RANDOM HOUSE

Detective Senior Sergeant Mark

Ariti returns to his home town in this atmospheric rural noir thriller. The troubled detective’s hopes for a quiet life are quickly quashed by the murder of a property developer and the disappearance of a female police officer. As Atiri struggles to make sense of the cases, his investigation is threatened by lingering small-town secrets.

Like Hickey’s debut novel, Cutters End, this equally satisfying thriller has interesting twists.
