Halifax F.P.

When Detective Jonah Cole unexpectedly reappears in Melbourne, Jane's emotional life is thrown into chaos. The mutual attraction still exists, and Jonah actively woos Jane. But it soon becomes obvious that Jonah is on the run...that he is plagued by a paranoia that twists the truth.

When a series of ritualistic rapes begin, the prime suspect is the recently released rapist William Redman. On parole, Redman is being assessed by Jane Halifax. He swears he is innocent. In fact, Jane is his alibi. But the more she delves into his mind, the more Jane begins to suspect William's connections to the rapes. Or is he being set up?

A baby dies. A mother confesses. But Jane Halifax's investigation into the woman's state of mind soon reveals she is shielding the identity of the real murderer.
