This book clearly didn't have the success it deserved. I see several reasons for that: first, the beautiful cover implied a torrid story without any real plot in it (I have to confess that it's exactly how I felt when I saw it), and a lot of people based their desire to read a book on the cover. And the writing by the Australian author flows seamlessly and beautifully, lulling the reader into the fantastic story he has created.Please, go beyong it. This book really deserve it.A deep friendship takes place between Sam, who fails to overcome the pain of having lost his twin brother in strange circumstances in which the police concluded to suicide a little too fast, and Paul, who finds himself on the streets after his parents discovered that it was gay.  When Sam's father takes Paul under his wing, as he does with any young man he finds abandoned and alone in a city park, Paul is struggling to trust the benevolent father figure.The whole book is only poetry, softness, tenderness, restraint and very well written. It is far from words that mean nothing or novels riding the wave of unbridled eroticism. Everything has its importance; the words used or the characters involved who have a role to play in the outcome of this fascinating investigation.Tim's ghostly presence adds a touch of supernatural that alleviates some moments of tension, but always wisely. The author also criticizes something that we all witnessed helplessly: the fact that people in high places think they are above the law and can act with impunity.In conclusion, I highly recommend this bokk to all the lovers of criminal investigations with a hint of ghost.
