PINK TIDE - SYNOPSIS
“…If I’d known he’d be dead in a few minutes, I wouldn’t have followed him down to the riverbank. But then, how was I to know our secret was over…”
Pink Tide is the third in the Rubens McCauley trilogy. After a series of harrowing and life changing cases in St Kilda (Head Shot & Blood Sunset), McCauley is now completely burnt out and on the edge. Addicted to prescription medication and running from too many years on the front line, he’s a shipwreck; a washed-up cop from the old school, wondering the shores of Jutt Rock, a small town on Victoria’s south western coast line, searching for the quiet life. And for a while he’s found it. Every day, as the sun sits over the ocean, the brilliant wash of colour reflected on the shoreline is known as the Pink Tide, a picture-perfect respite. No crime. No stress.
But the Pink Tide has another meaning, one which bares its ugly head late one Friday night when McCauley’s nephew and his mate are brutally bashed while walking home from a party together. As one victim dies and his nephew clings to life in hospital, McCauley is forced to abandon his plans of a new life and find the attackers.
With the eyes of the nation watching and his own health rapidly deteriorating, McCauley is joined by close friend Cassie Withers, and together they battle it out with the local community and many of their own colleagues, even McCauley’s own family. It’s a turning point in his life that takes him to the very edge of breaking point, and tests both his faith in the criminal justice system and in human decency itself.
Pink Tide Det Sgt Rubens McCauley Thriller Book 3 edition by Jarad Henry Nick Walker Literature Fiction eBooks
The Rubens McCauley series is one of those little gems of Australian crime fiction, of which PINK TIDE is the third book. We now find McCauley in a seachange respite from the rigours of inner city St Kilda, stationed in the small coastal town of Jutt Rock, admiring the scenery, chilling out, even thinking about taking up surfing.Until the bashing of his nephew and the death of a local hero. About then everything starts to go badly pear-shaped. McCauley's stress related ailment management, his marriage, the family, the town and the community.
Scratch the surface of most worlds and you'll find a lot of simmering problems - and Jutt Rock's no different. Especially as the investigation proceeds and the tensions boil: between local surfers and footballers, locals and incomers, straight and gay communities.
Henry sets himself a lot of scope in PINK TIDE. He has a plot to unwind which is built around the death and bashing of two local young men. The dead man is a local boy, made good. A surfing hero, somebody that the town is proud to call their own. Somebody with a secret that, for reasons which continue to baffle me completely, is cause for over-reaction in some. The reaction is touched upon, the idiocy of it beautifully highlighted by some simple and touching passages.
Whilst the investigation proceeds, overtaken by the "Big Boys" from Melbourne, McCauley mostly goes it alone. Distracted and distressed by the discovery of his wife's affair, he was a damaged man to start out with and thrown badly off-kilter by the conglomeration of all events, he presses on for the truth, playing your classic lone hand. Taking risks, stomping over the rules, opening up each and every dark box he can find.
There's considerably more damage in PINK TIDE than I remember from the earlier books in the series. There's also, I can't help feeling, a bit more of an edge, more risks. It's raw in places, and it's dark and uncomfortable sometimes. It's also fast-paced and chaotic. Which is probably the best way to describe McCauley as well.

Visit www.scholarly.info/book/284/ to order....
The third novel to feature Victorian detective Ruebens McCauley PINK TIDE follows on from 2008¡äs BLOOD SUNSET but takes the protagonist from inner-city Melbourne to the small, Great Ocean Road town of Jutt Rock. McCauley has become what is known in the police force as a shipwreck ¨C a cop burned out by their experiences and left to fend for themselves in some out of the way place until they leave the force all together ¨C and needs a stash of prescription medication to get him through the relatively tame policing needs of a small resort town.
PINK TIDEs plot is a ripper; full of the requisite number of twists and turns but offering a lot more besides as it explores several topical social themes. The issues surrounding small town residents who rely economically on the tourist groups they can attract but who resent the influx of people flashing money around and engaging in lurid, ¡®big city¡¯ behaviours are well teased out. As is the way that people¡¯s prejudices are impossible to hide for long and take little encouragement to rise to the surface in all their hate-filled fury.
As he still works in the Victorian criminal justice system there is a real sense that Henrys use of the story to depict some of the problems deeply rooted in the justice system and operation of a modern police force is accurate and, accordingly, somewhat sad.
There is the very real issue of the health problems faced by many police, evidenced here by McCauleys post traumatic stress disorder, and the fairly woeful way such problems are dealt with by their employers.
Other bureaucratic inanities taking an immeasurable toll on the people we expect to protect us from all manner of dangers are also depicted credibly and would give pause for thought if only the right people could be forced to read books such as this. But perhaps the saddest indictment of all is McCauley¡¯s observation when the police are interviewing their prime suspect
"Like any criminal investigation, it wasnt a question of truth. In the absence of any physical evidence or witnesses, the question was whether it was a plausible enough story..." (p164).
Overall PINK TIDE is a great read offering a thought-provoking exploration of the social underbelly of polite society and a credible, if maddening, depiction of the more ludicrous aspects of modern bureaucracies. The fact that the revelation at about the half-way point of the central crimes culprit in no way lessens the tension of the book, which turns then from a whodunnit into a will-he-get-away-with-it, is evidence of real skill.
