A mystery story with two parallel tales. One tale covers a century. It is the history of the Tremble''s, Roger''s family. Set in Melbourne, Australia, it gives a graphic insight into the psyche of ''Roger'' the serial killer. The other tale covers the timeframe of a week. It follows Inspector Grorgina Borg''s pursuit of a serial killer.
Short excerpt from the book:
The far off drone of traffic muffled the gurgles that bubbled up from the sinking body. Roger retrieved his briefcase, and walked briskly away. Fingerlike shadows of the trees gathered around the lanky figure, consumed and camouflaged his form, and thus, he dissolved into the darkness of the park.
