Home Truths

Introducing New Zealand's Jonah Solomon, a cop In the broody, bloody, and brilliant tradition of Ian Rankin's Detective Inspector John Rebus

Detective Sergeant Jonah Solomon is used to navigating the ruins of Christchurch, New Zealand, a city nowhere near recovery more than a year after a devastating earthquake. He's also used to navigating the prejudice that keeps plenty of doors closed to Māori officers like him. Most of his colleagues think Jonah's responsible for letting ex-cop-turned-con artist Rachel Trix escape justice with barely a slap on the wrist. He's got a resignation letter in his desk drawer, signed and ready, should anyone ask.

With a credible new tip on Trix's exit plan, Jonah has one more chance to make things right-until an ambush turns the operation into a bloody nightmare. He is immediately shaken by aftershocks that reveal lies and corruption at every level of the police force. With fewer and fewer people he can trust, a complex web of secrets puts Jonah and his family at the mercy of ruthless criminals. Can he finally reveal the truths he's protected since childhood in order to save himself and the people he loves most?
