Constable Jenny Williams spent the last decade obsessed with finding her missing cousin. She became a cop, moved to a remote outback mining town and put her career on the line to track Melanie down. Now she’s been found, Jenny should be overjoyed…
But her cousin’s past is full of unanswered questions and dark secrets. Jenny is willing to ignore it all, until a woman’s body is uncovered at William Creek Station - the very same place Melanie disappeared from all those years ago.
As the investigation kicks into high gear, Jenny’s gut instincts scream there must be a connection between Melanie’s disappearance and the suspicious deaths at William Creek Station.
When she finds the connection, she won’t be the only one who wishes it never came to light."
"Dawn Grave is a career detective who's holding on to a dark past - one that destroys relationships and wreaks havoc on her personal life.
For more than twenty years, she's tried to forget the horrors of her youth - while her sister has spent all that time digging for answers. Now a cryptic text message threatens to throw it all back into the light.
Dawn attempts to call her sister, but when Lisa can't be reached, she knows something terrible has happened. But finding Lisa means returning to the remote tropical town in northern Australia where her nightmares all began.
Dawn is out of her jurisdiction, but nothing is going to stop her investigating her sister's disappearance. When Lisa's car is found abandoned and a body is retrieved from the water, she's afraid her past has come back to haunt her.
When she's called to ID the body, she realises, her search for the truth has only just begun."
"They say she's a murder magnet. They could be right…
Constable Jenny Williams became a cop to find her missing cousin. Since arriving in the small, outback mining town, she’s uncovered secrets, lies and murder. Now a fun day fossicking for opals has revealed yet another body.
A woman has been found crushed and mutilated inside mining equipment. Jenny is sure the woman’s death was no accident. She investigates and uncovers a link to an extremist Sovereigntist cult who don’t take kindly to strangers.
As if fanatics weren’t scary enough – the commune is full of armed men and what appears to be women held captive. Her gut instincts are telling her this cult is trouble, but she needs proof.
Jenny’s boss tells her to do what she’s never been good at – be patient, don’t stir up trouble and keep her mouth shut. But when she discovers a local barmaid is a former cult member, she pushes the woman for answers.
Until the barmaid goes missing…."
"She knew she’d uncover secrets. She didn’t expect them to be her own.
Constable Jenny Williams moved to an outback mining town to find her missing cousin. The cold case is finally warming up, but it appears the remote, desolate desert community is hiding more secrets.
When a car crashes into the local motel reception, Jenny jumps in to help dig the owner from the debris – only to find tragedy. A woman’s corpse is discovered hidden in the carnage, turning the crash scene into a crime scene.
Jenny starts digging, but quickly discovers the prime suspect is her friend, the woman who’s been her rock since she came to town. Jenny’s gut is telling her Marj didn’t kill anyone, but she’ll need do what her boss hates – ruffle feathers to find the truth.
Dredging up the past puts Jenny in the killer’s sights. Someone wants the past kept in the past. They’ll do anything to keep their secrets hidden.
Even kill a cop!"
"Missing motive for murder…
Constable Jenny Williams took a job in a remote opal mining town for answers. When the case surrounding her missing cousin goes cold, she embraces an invitation to party with the locals. But the night is cut short when the live music event turns into a crowded crime scene.
A high-pitched scream and the smell of burning flesh has left a woman burned to death. No one saw the perpetrator, not even Jenny. Now it’s her job to catch the psychopath before they kill again. With no ID, no witnesses and no one coming forward who knows the woman, her case has no leads – not even a motive.
Until the victim’s best friend wanders into the police station, nearly three days later."
"If bones could talk…
Constable Jenny Williams came to the opal mining town of Coober Pedy to solve a family mystery, but two dead women in her first month have her colleagues labelling her a murder magnet.
A young woman is found dead at the side of a remote outback road, presumably victim of a hit and run. But she's miles from anywhere, barefoot and covered in blood that has nothing to do with an accident.
As Jenny hunts down her prime suspect, new forensic evidence turns her theories upside down. Has she made a huge mistake and led a vigilante right to an innocent person's door?"
"She came to find answers - she discovered a trail of secrets…
When Jenny Williams took a job as the new constable in an outback opal mining town, she thought she'd be hunting down clues to find her missing aunt and cousin. But when a young woman's body is found at the bottom of a mine shaft, a possible murder forces her personal agenda to take a back seat.
Jenny goes head to head with her new commanding officer. He doesn't want to ruffle feathers in town and rules the case Death By Misadventure. But Jenny is sure the dead woman met with foul play.
Risking her job, and her chance at solving her family mystery, Jenny will go behind her boss's back and uncover not only a killer, but a lead that could reveal a decade of corruption.
This case could be the link she's been hoping for. But it might just end her career.
Or even her life!"
