“Sally White is the senior constable and only police officer in a small town in the Victoria highlands. It is the 10-year anniversary of the murder of five hikers and the suicide of the suspected killer. But Sally has gotten to know Lex, the brother of the suspected killer and she can’t help but question if the police really got it right all those years ago. By the end of the book, when the real action starts you will start putting a lot of the pieces together like Sally has and you will be even more scared, and surprised about what is about to happen. The description of the Australian high country and the lovely accent of the narrator made you feel like you were right there when you were listening.”

“On the ten year anniversary of a brutal string of hiker murders, the new cop in a sleepy rural town races against time to prevent a repeat. But wait, did they get the right guy the first time around? What a thrilling, twisty summer read. Already anxiously awaiting her next book!”
— John • Bromley's Books
Victim ... or killer?
For the last decade, the small mountain town of Edenville in Victoria's high country has been haunted by the horrific murders of five hikers up on Jagged Ridge.
Also found dead near the scene was Bill 'Creeper' Durant, a bushland loner, expert deer-hunter, and a man with a known reputation for stalking campers . . .
Conclusion: murder-suicide. Case closed.
But as the ten-year anniversary of the massacre draws near, Detective Constable Sally White - the only officer at Edenville's modest police station - finds herself drawn into the dark world of the notorious Durant family.
Lex Durant, in particular, has started to publicly protest his brother's innocence and accuse the police of persecution.
As Sally combs the investigation to prove him wrong, it becomes all too clear that each murdered hiker had skeletons in their closet - and possible enemies in their past . . .
