Tito Ihaka, the unkempt, overweight Maori cop, was demoted to Sergeant due to insubordination and pigheadedness. He investigates the unsolved killing of a seventeen-year-old girl at an election night party in a ritzy villa near Auckland. Ihaka is also embroiled in a very personal mystery. A freelance journalist has stumbled across information that Ihaka's father, Jimmy, a trade union firebrand and renegade Marxist, didn't die of natural causes. The stories weave themselves into an exciting climax in an atmosphere of political maneuvering and intrigue surrounding the United States' confrontation with New Zealand over its anti-nuclear stance.

Review Praise for Fallout:Winner of the antipodean Ned Kelly and Ngaio Marsh awards, Paul Thomas is the author of a series featuring Maori policeman Tito Ihaka.The various plotlines are adroitly woven into an eye-poppingly complicated whole in this sharp, unexpectedly funny police procedural with a cast of engaging characters, not least the maverick Ihaka himself.’ GuardianPraise for Death on Demand:Ian Rankin tweets in January 2014:“Finished reading Paul Thomas's 'Death on Demand' on flight to NY. Big, bruising police procedural set in New Zealand. Excellent.” — Ian Rankin (@Beathhigh“Mazey, gripping plot, terrific maverick cop, violent, profane, funny.”— Ian Rankin (@Beathhigh“Ned Kelly Award–winner Thomas takes his time letting readers in on what he’s got up his sleeve in this police procedural, but the deferred gratification is well worth it. Ihaka, who must deal with prejudice from within the force, investigates. A twisty plot and an unusual lead combine to make this a winner.” Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

Improving with age By Columnist Detective sergeant Tito Ihaka and his boss, Superintendent Finbar McGrail, improve with age in this, the fifth novel in this series by New Zealand's premier crime writer. Paul Thomas' intricate plots, inhabited by a cast of well-drawn and credible characters, keep the reader engaged from start to finish.It is no wonder that Thomas has won numerous fiction-writer awards. He, too, gets better with age. Very highly recommended to those who enjoy a ripping mystery yarn.

Thomas and Ihaka: back with a vengeance By Craig M Sisterson Tito Ihaka is an unpinned grenade of a man who rampages through life – a rhino in a china shop – regularly rubbing people the wrong way: people who love him, loathe him, or have just met him.He also happens to be a rather fine detective; a far-from-thin member of the thin blue line who has a knack for catching hard-to-catch criminals. Amidst pissing off his peers and bosses with Swiss clockwork regularity. After a 15-year absence from the page, Ihaka made a triumphant return in DEATH ON DEMAND, which earned Thomas the prestigious 2013 Ngaio Marsh Award and was named ‘Crime Novel of the Year’ by British magazine Shots!In FALLOUT, Ihaka has been demoted to Sergeant for insubordination and pigheadedness, and is then charged by his long-suffering mentor, Superintendent Finbar McGrail, with turning a scrap of new information about the almost-forgotten murder of a teenager at a ritzy 1987 election night party into a finally solved file. Meanwhile, a freelance journalist uncovers information suggesting that Ihaka’s trade unionist father Jimmy may not have died of natural causes, and disgraced former detective Johan van Roon, Ihaka’s former best mate, is hired by a PR rep for a shady millionaire to investigate the recent sighting of a notorious political powerbroker who vanished back in 1987. Intrigue swirls as past collides with present on several fronts.Back in the day, critics described Thomas’s prose as “Elmore Leonard on acid”, and FALLOUT showcases his talent for mixing wit, action, and brevity. There’s an energy crackling through the prose. Like our hero, the story itself almost has a cavalier smirk; we’re riding shotgun with a modern-day cowboy, and it’s a heck of an enjoyable ride to go on.Thomas nicely evokes a sense of both modern-day and 1980s New Zealand life, diverse and non-homogenised. We see Ihaka playing pseudo-coach to a rugby-loving son of a woman he’s dating on and off, juggling the intricacies of intimacy and friendship, and coming to terms with the shades of grey in others as well as himself.Good thrillers need a pacy, exciting plot. Great thrillers have much more. FALLOUT is superb.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fallout By Gloria Feit This sequel to “Death on Demand” brings the reader back to New Zealand and the Central Police Dept. There are a number of cops who alternate in prominence in the plot, among them District Commander Finbar McGrail, who, we are told, became Auckland District Commander and developed an appreciation for wine pretty much at the same time. McGrail is still haunted by a 27-year-old case, his first, when as a new D.I. he investigated the murder of a 17-year-old girl, Polly Stenson. The investigation comes to a halt less than a year later when the police still have no viable suspects in her killing, coming to the conclusion that she was merely at the wrong place at the wrong time. Only a year from retirement, he is approached one day by a man who was present at the murder scene at the time in question, and given a lead as to who might have killed Polly.We then meet former D.I. Johan Van Roon, and the man who had at one time been his mentor: Maori cop Tito Ihaka, described as “unkempt, overweight, intemperate, unruly, unorthodox and profane” and “the brown Sherlock Holmes,” the latter having been banished to the hinterlands several years ago after a case which he had stubbornly insisted was a murder, not, as everyone else was convinced, a ‘simple’ hit-and-run accident. Now a Detective Sergeant, he is asked by McGrail to follow up on the new lead. Van Roon has left the force in disgrace, now a pariah in the police force and working, when he can find employment, as a private investigator and security consultant. He is hired to find a man who disappeared right after the Stenson murder, for a very attractive fee. Events occur in such a way that both Ihaka and Van Roon reopen the cold case to try to find the murderer.At the same time, Ihaka starts a completely different investigation, one that involves the death of his father, “a union firebrand and renegade Marxist,” decades ago, thought to have been of natural causes. To make things even more complex, a man with whom his father was involved died in a supposed accident one week later. Coincidence? He thinks not.The author was born in the UK but has lived for most of his life in New Zealand, which is the setting for his novels. The biggest hurdle for me in this book was with the local vernacular/regional jargon/idiom, as well as the many political discussions, making it somewhat slow reading. But the complex plot was very interesting, and on the whole the book was enjoyable.
