All Or None
Returning to Sydney, Detective Ramesh Ryan is promoted to the Homicide Squad. Zoe Yang joins him there. Now a detective herself, she is assigned as his junior partner. Straight up, the cops are off and running—investigating the discovery of a murdered company director. Following the clues, Detective Ryan finds that this and a second murder may be linked to past events.
As the pressure mounts for a quick solution to the case, the detective finds that he too, is in the killer’s crosshairs. But Ryan is distracted from the investigation by a romantic encounter with an old university friend. He also worries about his mother, Mumta, and her new obsessive desire for grandchildren from her only son. Could this be linked to her recent medical tests? And there’s another pressing problem—the plague of rats in his apartment block.
Detective Ryan’s hands are well and truly full.

Extract:
Pietro Guffini, aka The Owl, was well acquainted with death, though you wouldn’t know that at first blush. He was someone you could pass on the street without a second glance—stocky, with the neck of an ox, his balding pate sitting atop a square, bespectacled face. Mr. Ordinary. This persona had served him well when, back in the day, he had worked as a driver for Oscar Bruno, then the head of one of the largest and most violent organized crime gangs in Australia. Underneath The Owl’s subservient, everyman demeanor beat the heart of a burningly ambitious man, a cold-blooded killer prepared to do anything to achieve his ultimate goal—to replace Oscar Bruno and head up the crime gang himself.
The Owl’s chance came when Bruno was murdered, killed by a sniper’s bullet. His number two and three had died around the same time, so suddenly, everything was up for grabs. One by one, would-be successors had been eliminated. After all of the blood and mayhem, The Owl was the only man left standing.
After removing all the opposition, he had started going through the accounts and discovered, to his horror, that they were in complete disarray.
Pietro Guffini could have left cleaning the books to a professional bean counter. But anyone examining them would have a complete blueprint of all the gang’s illegal activities. He decided to do it himself.
