The Introspective Detective by Michael Downes

A man is found murdered on the last Melbourne Metro train to Hurstbridge. Detective Inspector Robin Lazelle, a thirty-year successful homicide veteran, now near retirement, leads the investigation. Lazelle has grown up in a dysfunctional family and for the whole of his life has avoided crowds and noise. Except for his work, he is more at home in solitude. This difficult case with its twists and turns causes him to reexamine his life, his future and his feelings about himself and others.
