Allen & Unwin ‘Thriller Of The Month’
Word Search Puzzle
There are 20 words hidden in this Word-Search puzzle. All you have to do is find all
the words and you could win a copy of The Tower, the gripping debut novel by Sydney
journalist Michael Duffy.
Young detective Nicholas
Troy is basically a good
man, for whom working
in homicide is the highest
form of police work. But
when a woman falls from
the construction site for the
world’s tallest skyscraper, the
tortured course of the murder
investigation that follows
threatens his vocation.
Hampered by politicised
managers and incompetent
colleagues, Troy fights his way
through worlds of wealth and
poverty, people-smuggling
and prostitution. He has always seen Sydney as a city of
sharks, a place where predators lurk beneath the glittering
surface. Now he uncovers networks of crime and corruption
that pollute the city, reaching into the police force itself.
Finally, the shadowy predator Troy has been chasing
turns and comes for him, putting his family at risk.
Forced to defend himself with actions he would never
have considered before, Troy confronts a moral abyss.
He realises it’s a long way down.
Michael Duffy reports for the Sydney Morning Herald on
crime and other matters. Previously he wrote for Sydney’ s
other newspaper, the Daily Telegraph. He has played in punk
rock bands, written biographies of several Sydney characters,
and is co-presenter of ‘Counterpoint’, Radio National’s
challenge to orthodox ideas. The Tower is his first novel.
