GUNSHOT ROAD
The second Emily Tempest novel.
Emily Tempest: small, black, and snaky as a taipan's tooth. The woman least likely ever to pursue a career in policing. Only somehow she's become the Aboriginal Community Police Officer for the outback (not to mention throwback) town of Bluebush.
Allergic to both authority and keeping her big mouth shut, Emily's immediately at odds with the new boss, Cockburn. And a homicide at the Green Swamp Well Roadhouse just makes things worse. Cockburn thinks it's a simple case of two old drunks and a hammer. But Emily knew the old drunks in question -and she's not convinced.
When Emily Tempest sees an injustice or a friend in strife, all you can do is get out of her way. When she sees both? Duck.
Fast-paced, funny, action-packed - and absolutely beautifully written: Gunshot Road is the second mystery featuring Emily Tempest, and a memorable read.
