Two-way cut.

by Garry Disher

Leah Flood is on the run. The cops are after her and she has to find herself a place to hide, a bolthole. The irony is, Leah is a cop too. But she s a cop who made a mistake, who ratted on some colleagues. Leah knows she s in the right, but that doesn t seem to matter to the guys who are chasing her. Hitting the road, Leah gets a lift with Mitch and Tess. They appear to be two young joyriders out for a good time until their car is pursued and shot at. Mitch loses control and the car crashes down an embankment. Mitch is killed and Leah and Tess are on the run. But who are the attackers pursuing? Leah thinks it s her, but Tess is sure she s the one they re after. What is she hiding? Pursued by a violent hit-man and a car full of goons, Leah has to find a way to keep both her and Tess out of trouble. But they can t run forever.

Barely a short story.

[Tanya Boulter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quite surprised how much I enjoy Garry Dishers novels. As much as this was a teen read I feel most adults could appreciate the storyline as I did
