A violent death by crucifixion near a remote north-west station has Detective Inspector Dan Clement and his Broome police officers disturbed and baffled. Other local incidents - the theft of explosives from a Halls Creek mine site, social justice protests at an abattoir, a break-in at a child-health care clinic - seem mundane by comparison. But as Clement starts to make troubling connections between each crime, he finds himself caught in a terrifying race. In a landmass larger than Western Europe, he must identify and protect an unknown target before it is blown to bits by an invisible enemy. ‘Warner has endowed his work with both a great sense of location and of intrigue … A wonderfully satisfying example of Australian crime fiction.’ Sandy’s Book a Day Blog ‘Gritty with well-realised characters and a taut plot, this is an outstanding crime novel.’ Canberra Weekly ‘The story is fast-paced and intriguing … Aussie noir at its best.’ Better Reading ‘The red herrings are excellent, and few readers will completely work out what’s going on until Warner decides it’s time to reveal all.’ Beauty and Lace ‘After the Flood is [a] superbly plotted crime fiction with an authentic Aussie flavour.’ The Burgeoning Bookshelf
