'In one of the finest and most pivotal books in the critically acclaimed Brock & Kolla series, DS Kathy Kolla reports to New Scotland Yard and to DCI Brock's Serious Crime Division.

'Just before Kolla is to start her new job, a young woman is found viciously murdered in a leafy, well-heeled suburb, and the grotesque details of the slaughter appear to be well rehearsed, even theatrical.

Once in their orbit, she is lured into a piece of theatre, over which, increasingly, she has little control.

'In All My Enemies, Brock and Kolla find themselves in a tangled web of secrets, lies and murder.' (From the publisher's website, 2012 Allen & Unwin edition.)
