THE COUNTRY COP
A young man hangs mutilated behind a country shearing shed. His fingers have been severed. His body has been gutted like a sheep. And this is only the beginning.
In the quiet countryside of Central Western New South Wales, murder is the last thing anyone expects.
When twenty-year-old Leroy Barrett is discovered hanging naked from a gum tree behind a shearing shed on a remote sheep station near the old mining village of Denison, the brutality of his death shocks the surrounding communities.
His father found the body. But who could have committed such a savage crime-and why?
For Detective Inspector Jonathon 'Tank' Dodge, the investigation is more than another homicide.
The property belongs to his grandparents. His younger brother manages the sheep station. And the local police sergeant who first attended the gruesome scene is Tank's own father.
Leaving Sydney behind, Tank returns to the country town where he grew up, accompanied by a small team of trusted investigators.
What begins as the hunt for a sadistic murderer soon exposes a far more dangerous criminal underworld.
Hidden methamphetamine laboratories, illegal tobacco operations, ruthless criminals with connections to the Irish mob, and a network of lies and betrayal are poisoning the seemingly peaceful countryside.
Then two young police officers stumble upon something they were never meant to discover.
One is abducted and brutally beaten. The other barely escapes with her life.
When the young constable dies from his injuries, the investigation takes a devastating turn. Tank is now hunting those responsible for two murders, while dangerous criminals threaten everyone standing in their way.
As the investigations begin to intertwine, Tank must navigate old friendships, family loyalties and a growing list of suspects. From isolated sheep stations and country pubs to abandoned mining country, every new discovery brings another threat.
In a community where everyone knows everyone, secrets are difficult to keep-but even harder to uncover.
Who butchered Leroy Barrett? Who murdered the young police officer? And how far will ruthless criminals go to protect their secrets?
The Country Cop is the gripping fourth novel in A Tank Dodge Crime Series by Australian author Col Braithwaite.
A gritty, action-packed Australian police crime thriller featuring brutal murders, organised crime, drug trafficking, family loyalties and unexpected twists.
Tank Dodge has returned to his hometown. But bringing justice to the country may prove more dangerous than anything he has faced in the city.
