A REMOTE HOTEL. FIVE GUESTS. ONE MURDER.
A rising star of Australian crime fiction ‘ SUNDAY TIMES
During a broiling heatwave, the inner circle of a high-profile charity attend a critical meeting at White Ash Ridge, a small hotel nestled in the Australian wilderness.
As the temperature rises, a body is found lying in the thick bush, bludgeoned to death.
One of the four remaining guests is a murderer – but who, and why, is a mystery.
Detective Dana Russo knows the national spotlight will be sharply focused on the case.
The charity was formed when the founders’ teenage son was killed after intervening in a vicious assault – sparking public outrage and a damning verdict on the police investigation.
But under huge pressure and with few clues – plus suspects who instinctively distrust the police – how can Dana unravel the truth?
