Crime fiction has eternal appeal. Barry Maitland wrote crime fiction full-time for sixteen years. Periods of research and writing filled the gaps between the publication of his seventeen novels. Occasionally, Barry despaired of ever discovering the satisfying conclusion his new novel would need.

Critical praise of Barry’s novels testifies to his ability to thrilling readers. His novels are “hard-hitting,” “taut and haunting,” “pacy and punchy,” and “absolutely top-shelf”. The Sydney Crime Museum referred to Barry’s Belltree trilogy as “one of the strongest examples of contemporary crime fiction.”
