Synopsis

From an Australian "literary institution" (Sydney Morning Herald), the latest mystery featuring homicide detective and family man Scobie MaloneThe time has come for Scobie Malone to leave the homicide and serial offenders unit of the Sydney police, and his last investigation could be the most bizarre case ever to cross his desk. Called in when a housemaid is found dead in a dot-com millionaire's penthouse, Malone suspects he's dealing with a kidnapping gone wrong. In fact, it couldn't have gone more wrong. The kidnappers thought they had grabbed the man's girlfriend—how were they supposed to know that the millionaire liked slipping into her designer dresses when she wasn't around? The plot thickens further when it is revealed that the dot-com bubble has burst, leaving the erstwhile millionaire in debt to the Yakuza and Malone on the trail of some old adversaries. Throw in the ex-wife, a mistress or two, and the mother of all outlaws, and you have a case that might well confound the greatest inspector in Australia.

This is the 19th of 20 books to feature Inspector Scobie Malone. He is nearing the end of his career and even contemplates retirement in this book. And it's this undertone to the whole story that is a bit of draw back to enjoying this book entirely. He is rather reflective through out the entire sto......more

So I maybe didn't give this book my whole attention. I bought it for something like 25 cents and put it in the prep room to read while my microwave popcorn was cooking. And while I eat popcorn for lunch quite a bit, it is by no means my lunch every day. Still, I finished the book. And I think it was......more

Yet again a Scobie Malone homicide mystery, his last case before he moves on and out of Homicide squad with a promotion. A good fast gripping tale of kidnapping gone wrong, an in-depth look at the dotcom burst and a family drama of women, all nicely woven into a thriller. The ending was okay, could......more
