- Book Synopsis
- Davina Blackley was once a competent, confident senior officer in the Western Australian Police Force-until toxic masculinity got her fired. Now she investigates insurance claims, a far cry from her old life. Then everything changes again. One moment, she's trailing a man who falsely reported stolen gold bullion (he'd merely hidden it, waiting for prices to rise). The next, she's alone in a dark cell, hands tied, a bag over her head. She almost died-and still can't remember everything that happened. Now her boss insists on therapy. Counselling. Talking to a stranger about feelings. Worse? She's been saddled with a partner. The guy (whose name isn't Ted) doesn't play well with others. He's a brilliant investigator, no doubt, but now he also resents being encumbered. Their mission: Investigate two massive insurance claims that, if paid, would spike premiums for everyone-a scenario the Board finds unacceptable. Ted and Davina, the so-called "Dream Team", must dig up evidence to refute both claims. But there's something they don't know-Perth's most vicious crime boss is invested in both matters.
- About The Author
- Asher Krause is a Scottish engineer who worked all around the world before settling in Australia where he lives with his wife and two daughters. He would like to think that his writing style has been influenced by Ian Rankin, Chris Brookmyre, Caimh McDonnell, Martin Cruz Smith and Mick Herron but freely acknowledges he is not in their league (or anywhere adjacent).
