Before It Breaks — Dave Warner

Detective Daniel Clement is back in Broome, licking his wounds from a busted marriage and struggling to be impressed by his new team of small-town cops. Here, in the oasis on the edge of the desert, life is as stagnant as Clement' s latest career move.But when a body is discovered at a local fishing spot, it is clearly not the result of a crocodile attack. Somewhere in Broome is a hunter of a different kind. As more bodies are found, Clement races to solve a decades-old mystery and catch the killer before a monster cyclone hits.PRAISE FOR THE BOOK‘ As Australian as a Tim Tam, this is fine descriptive writing that conveys both the searing heat and vast distances of the Outback.'
