In this, the final book of the Belltree Trilogy, DS Harry Belltree's obsessive pursuit of justice has cost him everything - his job, his marriage and his newborn child - but then his estranged wife disappears, leaving their baby daughter behind. The police think Jenny has murdered a man. Harry thinks she's in danger. When body parts are found maimed and strewn around a suburban park, his former colleagues are distracted by this apparently unrelated case. Harry is left to track Jenny down on his own - and to lay bare, at last, the extraordinary conspiracy that led to his parents' murder.

'Well written with an elaborate plot, this fast-paced novel explores some aspects of the racial divide in Australia. Recommend for Claire McNab readers or anyone who likes police procedurals.'--STARRED review, Library Journal on Crucifixion Creek; 'Unlike the 12 cases Maitland set Kolla and Brock, this one expresses its moral complications through nonstop action. First of a series. Though you'll wonder early and often how Harry can possibly survive for any sequels, you'll hope again and again to be proved wrong.'--STARRED Review, Kirkus, on Crucifixion Creek; 'Maitland adroitly balances multiple characters and plot lines, weaving together apparent coincidences into a complex, compelling tale of far-reaching greed and corruption. Armchair travellers will enjoy this foray Down Under, and the heart-wrenching ending is sure to leave them eager for the trilogy's final volume.'--Publishers Weekly on Ash Island; 'Satisfyingly rich fare for puzzle addicts and conspiracy theorists alike, capped by a string of climactic fireworks that are still exploding in the very last paragraph.' Kirkus on Chelsea Mansions; 'Meticulous, psychologically astute.' Entertainment Weekly on No Trace 'Maitland interweaves a smart plot, which includes a few shockers and more than a few Cold War roots, with major character developments for Brock and Kolla... A top-notch series.' Richmond Times-Dispatch; 'Intriguing and cleverly constructed.' Booklist
