The fifth novel in the John Bailey thriller series. Bailey is trying to solve two murders, ten years apart – unfinished business from his former flame Sharon Dexter. But will it cost him his life? 

When Sydney socialite Tottie Evans is found dead at a house in Palm Beach, Detective Holly Sutton is called in to investigate. She immediately suspects the boyfriend, a millionaire property developer and ex-mercenary soldier, who refuses to cooperate with police.

Across the city, old-school reporter John Bailey – still haunted by the death of his girlfriend, former cop Sharon Dexter – gets a call about a break-in. It leads to the unearthing of an old case file on a murder at the men-only Sydney Club that Dexter had been pursuing a decade earlier. Her notes reveal a link between that murder and the killing of Tottie Evans.

Suddenly, John Bailey and Holly Sutton have the same mission. And for Bailey, this is a chance to finish a job for the woman who saved his life.

The only problem: a serial killer is already serving a life sentence for the Sydney Club murder.

Reviews

‘A taut, compulsive mystery firmly grounded in real-world concerns from online misogyny to regional geopolitics. Get ready for a gripping and relentless pursuit for truth and redemption.’ ‘Meticulously plotted, rigorously controlled, and sublimely suspenseful. A-Grade stuff.’ ‘Detective Holly Sutton is a female crime-fighting super-force.’ ‘A fast-paced tale of corruption, murder and salvation. Page-turning Aussie noir at its best.’ ‘The Wrong Man isn’t just a page-turner; it’s a thoughtful look at modern fears and the struggle between good and evil.’ Expand reviews
