About The Book
From the frying pan, into the fire.
“In a thrilling fish-out-of-water mystery thriller, a disgraced high-flying detective is relocated from Sydney to a tiny Australian beach town. Here he discovers that small doesn’t mean peaceful and murder doesn’t take a holiday in the off season.”
Detective Ramesh Ryan’s career with Sydney’s prestigious Organized Crime Unit is on the up until he loses a court case against the city’s most powerful drug dealer. In disgrace, the detective is relocated to the tiny Australian beach town of Barton.
It is off season in Barton – when its few criminals usually take a well-earned rest. But not this year! With the detective’s arrival, the town suddenly becomes murder central. Two bodies are discovered in the space of days, both victims of drug overdoses. Then a mysterious foot is found in the sand, and memories awoken of the unsolved case of a teenager who disappeared fifteen years ago. Add to this the start of a romance, along with a contract taken out on the policeman’s life, and it’s clear that Detective Ryan has jumped out of the Sydney frying pan into the Barton fire.
What follows is an action-packed adventure, thrilling at every turn – where truth and lies are almost impossible to separate, and unexpected twists are the order of the day.
