When you're touched by evil, it leaves deep within you a trace like some dormant virus waiting to be reactivated into full-blown dead.
In 1999 and 2000, three young women go missing on separate occasions, last seen leaving a nightclub in the Perth suburb of Claremont. With the police not making any headway in the investigations, one of the families contacts renowned private investigator Snowy Lane for help.
Clear to the Horizon is distinctly Australian, loaded with local colloquialisms and locales. The outback features prominently bringing the dusty and dangerous isolation that comes with it into the urban landscape in which the elusive kidnapper terrorizes young women.
This book reads as a tale of two stories; the earlier one centered around the missing women and Snowy Lane's case, with the second featuring a mining mogul's missing daughter in which Snowy is also brought in to investigate, this one is set some 17 years later. Both cases collide in great fashion as the lengthy cat and mouse hunt comes full circle.
I really enjoyed Clear to the Horizon; the Aussie feel is great, the colorful language, similes and sense of mateship between PI and police force are a joy to read.
My rating: 5/5 stars. Whilst Clear to the Horizon features characters from previously books written by Dave Warner, this one reads perfectly well as a standalone, though I am keen to check out City of Light, the preceding book featuring Snowy Lane.
