Riveting, intelligent crime writing from one of Australia s best. Weekend West
A woman dies in her sleep in a houseboat on the Thames; the apparent cause of death, an unflued gas heater. It all seems straightforward, but DI Kathy Kolla isn t convinced. Both Kathy and DCI Brock run up against opposition in their investigation. An aggressive new Commander is squeezing out old-fashioned coppers like Brock and Kolla. To make matters worse, there s a new Task Force moving in on their patch, and a brutal killer, Butcher Jack Bragg, to be tracked down and caught. It s one of Brock and Kolla s bloodiest investigations yet.
A heart-thumping read, The Raven s Eye gives us Brock and Kolla under pressure; it s a clash between the menacing ever-present eye of computer surveillance versus the explosive threat of a man with a meat cleaver and a grudge.

This is my first Brock and Kolla novel, but it won t be my last.his great strength is his flawless plotting. It s a rollicking ride. Good Reading
