When Joe receives the call from the hospital that his father, William, has underwent surgery due to a serious head injury, he's told that his mother is at the hospital with him. But when Joe arrives, the woman at his father's bedside is someone he's never seen before....she says she's William's other wife. Even as Joe reels from this announcement and the ramifications that go along with it, he needs to find out who did this to his father and why. As Joe delves deeper into his father's life, he discovers a side to the man that he never knew existed and now it may be too late to get the answers he craves. I forget how much I love Robotham's books until a new one comes out. You don't hear a lot about him, like some authors, but his books quietly become bestsellers and the Joe O'Loughlin series has created some endearing characters that I always look forward to catching up with.
