Produktbeschreibung
Visitors may find the Handy Guide to Manderville useful, but it offers no help to residents lost in a deadly maze of no-longer familiar streets, among newly sinister public places. Its pages extol the virtues of significant buildings, fine parks, and especially, the town's upstanding citizens. But there is no section on serial killers. Nothing on distinguishing between a tragic accident and brutal murder. Beyond the flowery words and glossy PR lies a darker reality, from courthouse to hospital, from footy field to cemetery. When one of those upstanding citizens sees brief reference to a long-ago drowning accident in the Guide, a campaign of twisted vengeance is unleashed on the seemingly innocent family of football legend, Ray Durkin. His abused wife, Bev, son Jack and daughter Katie are all targets, while other locals caught in the maelstrom are trying to understand what has happened to their quiet town. Which of their fine citizens is a relentless, revenge-thirsty killer?
