He yearns for action, solving mysteries and preventing crimes, rather than the tedium of wading through crime statistic reports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen fresh evidence leads the Deputy Commissioner to reopen an investigation into the murder of a young man from a wealthy family, she asks Stratton to investigate. He jumps at the chance, even though it is her work he will be scrutinising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case takes Stratton to Oatlands, one of the island’s most historic towns. The more he learns about the town and its people, the more Stratton doubts the findings of the original investigation. A pattern takes shape, and unlikely suspects emerge, but not before Stratton incurs the wrath of his nemesis, Assistant Commissioner Morton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs questions mount, and tensions escalate, a killer is exposed and Stratton’s career changes forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ebook is available free when \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/sjthiessen.com.au\" title=\"Newsletter link\"\u003esubscribing to S.J.
