ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Set in southern WA, trainee private investigator Lee Southern is watchful, skilled in unauthorised entry and can handle himself when things get physical - all the product of an unconventional and not-ideal childhood. The current case involves a series of blackmail demands targeting a wealthy entrepreneur, and relating to a kidnapping of the entrepreneur's daughter that occurred 20 years ago. A very satisfying mystery, well-paced with Whish-Wilson's Southern being a compelling 'tough guy' along the lines of Jack Reacher, Hurwitz's Orphan X, and Disher's Wyatt. Craig
