The Tattooed Man
In The tattooed man by Alex Palmer, Paul Harrigan is a cop who has survived the corruption and political manoeuvrings of the NSW Police…so far.
Grace Riordan has left the service and now works in the shadowy world of undercover intelligence - so she and Harrigan can’t talk about work much. Harrigan is called to a grisly murder scene in Sydney’s wealthy north: four dinner guests are seated around the table - all dead. One of them a senator's ex-wife, another one a missing corrupt detective whose body is mummified, suggesting he has been dead for some time. While Harrigan is facing the demons of his past, Grace is drawn into the investigation through some very unofficial enquiries of her own.
