This book would suit both MALE AND FEMALE READERS. Based on a charismatic detective Parker Lamont, in Canberra, Australias National Capital, and his pursuit of a sniper on a black unmarked motorbike, who is holding the National Capital to ransom as he strikes on random days, always at 3pm. In the background, the lives of four women are wound into the story. The main female character, Debbie, suffers from low esteem with women but has a way with men!
