In Simon Rowell’s gripping crime series—The Long Game, Wild Card, and The Good Dog—detective sergeant Zoe Mayer and her loyal service dog Harry tackle the darkest corners of human nature. Set against the vivid Australian landscape, these tightly plotted thrillers combine psychological depth, atmospheric tension, and a refreshingly complex heroine.
In The Long Game, Zoe returns to duty after personal trauma, investigating a murder with links to her own past. Wild Card throws her into a murky world of organised crime and betrayal, where nothing is as it seems. In The Good Dog, Zoe faces her most harrowing case yet—a chilling conspiracy driven by greed, lies, and cold-blooded violence.
Rowell’s series is sharp, fast-paced, and emotionally resonant—perfect for fans of Jane Harper and Garry Disher. With every twist and turn, Zoe Mayer proves she’s not just playing the game—she’s rewriting the rules.
