Description

Clay Moloney, a cynical reporter with a regional Australian newspaper, is expecting an easy Sunday at work when the body of a young woman washes up at the Bay of Martyrs. The death is an inconvenience for Clay, who's content filing obituaries and re-writing government press releases on the new multi-million-dollar airport. <br><br>But the more he digs into the Bay of Martyrs incident, the more he realises the girl's death is not a case of misadventure, despite what the police tell him. Clay becomes obsessed with the murder investigation, putting himself and his colleague Bec, an Irish-born photographer, in danger. Will Clay achieve justice for the young student, or will those in power stop him before he uncovers the truth? <br><br>Master of "tartan noir" Tony Black collaborates with Australian author and reporter Matt Neal to create a thrilling criminal case of murder and corruption set on Australia's south coast. <br><br>Praise for BAY OF MARTYRS: <br><br>"This is one hell of a read. Two authors is a tricky gig and most times results in a desultory effect. But here are two writers so in sync that it is seamless. A get-in-yer-face, down and dynamic read that grips and enthrals. Tony Black at the very height of his terrific talent and now with a double act to enrich his solid rep." -Ken Bruen, author of <i>The Guards</i> and <i>Priest</i> <br><br>"<i>Bay of Martyrs</i> is a piece of perfectly-crafted Australian coastal noir, from the body on the remote beach that sparks journalist Clay Moloney's obsession, to the cast of bent cops, developers and a politician on the make. A dark gem from the first wave of Aussie mysteries that's sweeping the world." -Jock Serong, author of <i>The Rules of Backyard Cricket</i> and <i>On Java Ridge</i> <br><br>"This was a great read. Really cool, interesting and unusual locales, with a fast-paced thriller narrative and some very sexy lead characters. Highly recommended." -Tony Cavanaugh, author of <i>Promise</i> and <i>Dead Girl Sing</i>
