Detective Sergeant Philip 'Cato' Kwong is light on sleep but high on happiness with his new wife Sharon Wang and their baby girl.
But contentment is not compatible with life in the Job, and soon a series of murders of Fremantle's homeless people gets in the way of Cato's newfound bliss. As New Wave journalist Norman Lip flirts online with the killer, it becomes apparent that these murders are personal - the every death is bringing the killer one step closer to Cato.

Cato Kwong is back in Fremantle and seconded to major crime when a series of murders of homeless people escalates. The local setting adds to the thrill of reading this book. The plot is complicated by journalist Norman Lip’s online flirting with the killer. As the murders tally up, so do the false leads and dead ends. Cato is on a race against time to stop this killer in their tracks before they make a deadly move on his own family. As ever, Alan Carter has a tight but twisting plot that keeps you enthralled, and the social issues in the background – homelessness, blended families, online dating to name a few – make it an even more rewarding read.
