Description
Two years have passed since top cop Paul Harrigan walked away from the New South Wales Police Force to be his own man. Since then his life has been a gift and his home - with his partner Agent Grace Riordan and their daughter - a sanctuary. When a trafficked sex-worker is found brutally murdered in Sydney bushland, it should be just work for Grace. But the murder is too savage. And someone is watching them - perhaps Harrigan's old enemies, who want their pound of flesh. When Grace's boss pushes her into a sting to catch the sex-worker's murderer, it becomes a question of who is being hunted. Who, in the end, is going to be left looking into the eyes of a killer with no place to hide? Suspenseful, smart and chilling, two of Australian crime's most memorable characters are in a race to save themselves from evil that even they have never faced before.

0 star rating by Boomert - The Labyrinth Of Drowning by Alex Palmer 08 Jan 2010
The Labyrinth Of Drowning is the third instalment (the first was Blood Redemption, the second The Tattooed Man) in Palmer’s Harrigan/Riordan series. It’s been two years since ex-top cop Paul Harrigan left the NSW police force to start his own security firm, while his partner Agent Grace Riordan has recently returned to work after the birth of their daughter. The intricately interwoven plot begins with the discovery of a brutally murdered body in Sydney bushland. Riordan’s boss pushes her to set up a sting to catch the murderer but unfortunately as a result of the ‘top secret’ nature of Riordan’s work, Harrigan and Riordan are forbidden to swap notes. What then begins is a complex parallel narrative as Harrigan starts his own investigations into who has been watching them and threatening their hardearned personal security. The plot works well but I found the characterisations a little clumsy and undercooked. Unlike the work of Peter Temple or Shane Maloney I suspect this series is better read in order. For fans of the series I’m sure this instalment will come as a welcome addition but those who are new would be better to start at the beginning in order to establish a connection with the characters.
