The Hunt for the Dingo by P. J. Nash

In the arid expanses of Australia's red deserts, a killer is preying on British female backpackers. Dubbed 'The Dingo' by the media, he stalks his prey then disappears without a trace. In a bid to catch the man responsible, the local police call on the talents of Melbourne's finest, ex British cop, Lawrence James and leading criminal psychologist Jesse Sandersen. Meanwhile, James has unfinished business with Melbourne crime kingpin, Cyrus Bain, a gangster who will do whatever it takes to stay out of jail. When another young girl disappears, it is a race against time to catch the killer. Can James bring The Dingo to justice? Will he escape with his life intact? In their hunt for the murderer, James and Sandersen unearth some disturbing secrets that many would rather remain buried.
