HARUM SCARUM

Felicity Young is an intriguing new addition to the upper echelons of Australian thriller writing. This is the third book from the Perth author, a tightly plotted and fast-paced police procedural that involves Monty McGuire, head of Perth's serious crime squad, and his parther, Detective Sergeant Stevie Hooper, in a world of low-lives, pedophiles, street kids and cyber predators. The disappearance of an 11-year-old girl, who turns up in a dumpster, forces the dysfunctional pair to work together. It's a well-crafted page turner that explores themes that concern every parent.
