Something evil is going on out there...


Detective Ange Watson always knew policing was a hard job. A dangerous job. But she never expected to take a bullet in the line of duty…

And now it seems her superiors are willing to throw Ange under the bus to cover up their own mistakes. While she isn’t easily intimidated, everyone has their limits.

But when a scared young Vietnamese woman seeks refuge in a country church, it sets in motion a chain of events that will push Ange’s ingenuity and determination to its limits. No human being deserves to be sold to the highest bidder, and Ange’s blood boils over when she realises that the world would prefer to look the other way.

In a harsh and unforgiving landscape, with corruption everywhere and trust hard to come by, Ange will have to tread carefully as she races to prevent more tragedy. It seems that some lives are considered expendable...

Life was never meant to be easy...


Read what others say about The Saltwater Crimes Trilogy, books 1 - 3 of The Detective Ange Watson Mysteries;

“The Saltwater Crime novels are evocative Australian surf noir (if that’s not a thing, it should be), a cross between Garry Disher and early Don Winslow, and combine environmental activism, political corruption, star chamber hearings, suspicious property developers, and a few sexy bits. Highly recommended!!” Sarah Elks, book reviewer and senior journalist at The Australian newspaper.

Beautifully written the descriptions of the surf and surfing to the landscape I felt I was there.

Do yourself a favour and purchase the 3 book series by PG Robertson. I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a good detective story with a strong but relatable heroine, who loves the great outdoors, especially the beaches and surfing and is keen to visit, or who has grown up on, the east coast of Australia. PG Robertson describes the cities and coastal towns beautifully and you feel like you are riding the wave with Ange in the surfing scenes.

After binge reading books 1 and 2, I couldn’t wait to find out how it all came together. While satisfied with the ending, I was pleased to see PG Robertson left the door open for more to come. I really enjoyed this series. So entertaining, and learned some stuff too, highly recommend this author.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this series. Great for anyone planning to visit Australia as it captures place and language very well.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

After growing up in a small Australian coastal town, I studied mathematics and physics at university before founding several successful businesses in a variety of fields. Having never held a proper job, I consider myself uniquely unemployable!

Sport has been a constant companion, where I have played tennis at a high level, a scratch golfer and an experienced surfer, angler, and hiker. I also volunteer considerable time to sport, primarily because I believe it is good for body and soul, helping bring people together to bridge diversity.

Covid, and the curtailment of everything, saw time to kill. My fixation on writing novels caught me by surprise. I find it exhilarating to disappear with my characters into imagined scenes, building a maze for my readers to discover. My family call me the blue heeler, the dog who needs constant activity lest he drive everyone crazy. I can be like that, obsessively focussed on the task at hand.

I hope my novels elevate Australian culture, with an optimistic and often humorous portrayal of life in regional and coastal towns. When I needed a hero, Ange came naturally, an amalgam of friends and people who I admire. I hope you like Ange as much as I like my friends.

A love of travel and being cast adrift in foreign or remote locations is a constant source of inspiration. I like to challenge the reader on topical issues and current events to help give a sense of Australia—with some drama thrown in to make life interesting.

I currently live in Brisbane with my remarkable wife, old cars, and sporting equipment. Now that our three wonderful children have largely flown the coop, I remain perplexed at where that time went.

    Still enjoying after reading all 4 books but now am anxious to read the next book. Love Ange has a new love & Buddy. Now I have become familiar with cryptocurrency but still don't like it. I do not bank on my iPhone.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Loving the Fourth Book in the Ange Series
    Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2024
    Another great read from P G Robertson. The fourth book in the Detective Ange Watson series and I feel like I know her personally and could go out surfing with her on week-ends! I get so engrossed in these books and this latest one is no different! Can't wait for the next book! Do yourself a favour and buy all four books available in the series. You will not be disappointed.
