Detective Dave Burrows returns in another breathtaking tale of rural suspense from the bestselling Voice of the Outback.

Dave Burrows is fighting to see his children and suffering from the guilt and trauma of his mother-in-law being shot by his nemesis, Bulldust. He's being told by Mel's lawyer that his job puts his children at risk and therefore he shouldn't see them.

After a phone call suggesting to his partner, Bob Holden, there could have been some sheep stolen north of Carnarvon, they head north and Dave tries to put his children out of his mind. Especially when Shannon, a forensic pathologist, turns up to investigate the first body on the beach. Shannon and Dave have always had a close friendship and, on the beautiful beaches of the north, that friendship grows into something more.

A ferocious storm comes, uncovering another body, buried deep in the sand, and a truckload of drugs is discovered nearby as they recover the second body. It's then that the sheep investigation takes a back seat.

This is an awesome story

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2022

I love Detective Dave Burrows he is such a fabulous character and this is another awesome story, Dave is still struggling with what has happened with his wife Mel and now the lawyers have told him he is still not allowed to see his daughters for fear of the danger he will put them in, he sets his mind to work and when he is called to investigate missing sheep with partner Bob Holden a trip to the bush is just what he needs, only they uncover more than they were looking for.

Bob and Dave arrive in the far north near Carnavon and start their investigation, first stop Double M station were the report of missing sheep has come from, they also say that wild dogs have been seen, from here they travel to Corbett Station Stay, this place has a tourist stop where caravans can stay and they also have cabins for hire, Dave and Bob settle themselves into the cabins and plan their investigation.

The missing sheep are put on hold when a body is discovered on the beach by a couple of backpackers who work at the stay station, they are able to get forensic pathologist Shannon with a pilot to arrive and help with the body, which brings Dave some happiness they have always had a close friendship and this may go further, except there is a terrible storm and another body and drugs turn up. The storm has cut them off and with no help arriving soon Dave and Bob have a lot to do.

This is a book that I could barely put down, Dave is in his early days and getting to know him better is so good and Bob as well he is a fabulous mentor for Dave and together they make a formidable team when they investigate the mystery of the bodies and the drugs in this beautiful part of Western Australia. I loved seeing Dave find some happiness after what he has been through and all I can stay is that this is a must read story one that I would highly recommend, Fleur McDonald brings out the best in her characters and always with a great mystery to uncover, I look forward to her next book.

I've been hooked with every book the Fleur McDonald has written and this book is no different. Such a great read with a final twist in the last few pages that I never saw coming.
