'Blue Justice is an Australian crime novel with a difference: this is cops on the beat. This is a book about real policing. There are no tortured detectives puzzling over motive or building a case on fragments of lucky finds of evidence. There are no glamorous pathologists offering connections between unrelated cases and solving crime in their spare time. Forget the bizarre clues, the mastermind criminals. This is blood-on-the-floor police work.

'Sergeant Tony Signorotto has good friends, plenty of enemies, and the sort of family connections that just might get him killed. An old-school cop in a rapidly changing world he may be, but even fashionable Carlton still has a few old-fashioned problems to sort out, and Tony Signorotto is just the man to have on hand to solve them.

'Blue Justice is a confronting novel. It places its main character in the middle of the hard choices all police officers face: how to do a difficult job without the time, resources, or support to do it. And how to stay sane while you're doing it.'
