In the Blue Mountains, people often fall from great heights — the cliffs are everywhere. A young man falls from Govetts Leap, and a woman turns up nearby. She’s alive, but not saying anything to Detective Inspector Paul Ruel. As he investigates, he finds his family under attack from an unknown source.
And then Paul disappears.
It’s left to his new friend Bella Greaves to find him. She’s a newspaper editor, not a detective. But she’s stubborn and smart, and knows that Katoomba is not always as charming as the tourist board would like.
"When I think of the mean streets — I think of Katoomba." — Michael Robotham, bestselling crime author
