Getting Warmer

Detective Cato Kwong is back. The unsolved mystery of a missing fifteen-year-old girl in midsummer causes a stir, and Cato is brought onto the case when things suddenly get darker. A dead pig, a mutilated corpse and a series of blunders come together to put Cato's reputation back on the line again. As his own sympathy for a suspect threatens to derail everything he's worked so hard for, Cato must persevere through the stinking heat to solve the case and work out how these strange and horrific crimes might be linked. An addictive page-turner for fans of hardboiled crime, Alan Carter's latest Cato Kwong thriller stirs up the dust in the Southern Cross Crime scene.
