The elite neighborhoods of Sydney are becoming a serial killer’s hunting ground. But for a city―and a detective―on the edge, not everything is as it seems in a twisting novel of suspense. 
During a stifling summer in Sydney, the body of a chaplain’s daughter is found wrapped in black plastic on the deserted grounds of an elite boarding school. Is it the work of the killer who’s been stalking the privileged neighborhoods along the Parramatta River? Gut instinct tells Detective Sergeant Rose Riley something even more devious might be at play. 
Eager to find the so-called Blue Moon Killer before he strikes again, Riley forms an uneasy alliance with Adam Bowman, a journalist with a valuable, and unsettling, link to the school’s history. As Riley’s investigation takes her deep into the secret lives of Sydney’s prominent citizens, Bowman delves into the darkest places of his own childhood for answers. When their paths converge, Riley must use every bit of her cunning to stop another murder. 
Excavating Bowman’s past might just be the key to unlocking the case. Or it could prove to be Riley’s undoing. Because clue by clue she’s being pulled into the sights of a killer.

The Crown: Royal Scandals

The monks of Athos rise before the sun and sleep before it sets. They follow a calendar and a way of life that the rest of the world has forgotten and which must at times seem misguided--even to them . . . It was to the Holy Mountain, immovable symbol of Eastern Orthodox spirituality, that Matthew Spencer journeyed one summer, his mind full of questions about the history and contemporary identity of monasticism. Athos has never been easy to get to, for anyone. No woman has been allowed to set foot there for a thousand years. However, its legendary exclusivism is not the only thing we encounter in this first-hand account of a season spent on Athos' wooded shores. Interwoven with historical fact and spiritual reflection are lyrical descriptions of the brilliance of its art, the cool of its ancient buildings, the warmth of its welcome. No less absoring are the author's observations on the vagaries of monastic living, and the challenges of adapting, however briefly, to an alien culture. Ultimately it is the peace of Athos that shines through, even as monks set themselves against the world, as monastery complains about monastery, as brtehren squabble about the vision at the heart of the place: what it might mean to live a holy life.
