When the sun lowers itself into the bay and leaves the sky over St Kilda a dark crimson, it's beautiful and threatening at the same time. But the tourists don't see it that way. They only see the pretty colours and the calm water, the restaurants and the palm trees. They don't see the stabbings and the fights, the brawls and the rapes ...

When a young runaway is found dead in St Kilda one morning, a syringe hanging out of his arm, no one is terribly shocked. A known junkie, the kid's criminal record was as long as the Scenic Railway. Even local detective Rubens McCauley is quick to conclude Dallas Boyd died of an accidental overdose.

But anomalies in the boy's death - and the haunting memory of a childhood friend - continue to nag at McCauley. Unable to shake his unease, he fights to revive the investigation. Case re-opened, he soon finds himself enmeshed in a secret network of paedophiles, child abusers and underage prostitutes.

Forced to look evil in the eye, McCauley must conquer his own demons as he battles to find justice for a young boy he never met but has come to know intimately in death ...

Having just finished Head Shot (yes I know - slow, very very slow), I'm pleased to see some reviews / discussion popping up about Jarad Henry's second book - Blood Sunset. Follow this link for a review that's shown up at Boomerang Books.

Having read his first book way late (which I loved) I've now started on the second in a new series featuring local (to Melbourne) detective Rubens McCauley.

"To get what you want, you need to know what you want." My mother first told me this when I was a young boy. Think hard about what you want, she said, for knowing what you want is more difficult than actually getting it."

Shamefully late. Unforgiveably late, but I have finally picked up Head Shot.

"The screaming phone assaulted his eardrums. Sweat lacquered his bare neck and chest. McCauley shivered, rolled onto his side and stared at the alarm clock. The red haze strung his eyes, gradually forming recognisable numbers. Four in the morning. He lifted the handset to his ear, answered with a grunt."

Blurb from the book

Gangland killings, drugs, corruption ...

You've read the newspapers, now read the book! - a .22 calibre pistol. Good for a head shot. Nice and neat. Professional!

An acquitted cop-killer is executed in a St Kilda back-street. Another gangland killing, or a rogue cop out for revenge?

Suspicion falls on Rubens McCauley, a maverick detective with a lot of motive and plenty of enemies. With his marriage in tatters and a team of elite investigators hot on his heels, McCauley needs answers - and fast. His hunt for the killer draws him deep into an underworld of gangsters, hitmen and dance parties - and a past he'd do anything to forget.
