Title: Australian Crime Novel
Review: This is a crime novel. Sort of. Set in Australia, the story is about Joe Cashin, a cop who is on disability leave, recovering from an injury. He returns to the town he grew up in and becomes involved in helping to solve a local crime. Cashin is an interesting character, and that makes for interesting reading. The past and present are both "present" in this story, and that, too, makes for interesting reading. The overall tone of the book is dark, not only because of the outcome, but because of the racism that permeates society (especially the police force) and the damage done to the environment. Definitely worth reading.
