Family history was never meant to be like
this…
A body in the crypt… but who killed her?
Everybody has their own gameplan but no one’s saying
what it is... one wants to kill; one gets killed; one wants
to rescue another; one would rather not be there; and
everybody’s after the money.
Senior Detective Sergeant Skyla Merrick is out to save
her sister from a murder charge but the cops don’t want her
interfering.
Skyla’s
sister’s girlfriend’s boyfriend wants to hire Skyla’s
private eye partner to find out the truth. But to rescue her
sister, Skyla will have to put everybody’s lives on the
line... including her own.

Skyla Merrick is always in some kind of
trouble …
On light duties – investigating the theft of
rock art – following a near-death experience, DS Skyla
Merrick is challenged when ordered to investigate a
series of grotesque murders and weird clues.
Quickly the contours of the case take shape. Three rival
groups are seeking control over a nearby mountain top. When
further murders occur, Skyla realises that all the victims
belong to a syndicate trying to establish a nature reserve on
the mountain top. This hypothesis is shortly turned on its
head by further unexpected events.
So who is the guilty party?
The entrepreneur bent on expanding his
windfarm?The mining engineer seeking a new prospect? The local Aboriginal community protecting a
sacred site?
Skyla unravels the identity of the villains, but must confront
her traumas and fear of death before she can act to prevent
further atrocities.

Skyla Merrick is always in some
kind of trouble …
In
disgrace and suspended, the Cornish-born detective witnesses
the first of the bizarre deaths while visiting Arthur's Bay, a
coastal fishing village with bigger ideas. The director of a
local climate change research facility, Edwina Ling, is number
one. Skyla
relishes the opportunity to restore her fortunes but false
evidence and her personal demons deceive her and she chases
the wrong suspect.
Then
there is another, and then another death …
Her
one-time lover helps resolve her confusion and assists her
pursuit of the murderer with renewed clarity. Colleagues
quietly follow their own investigations and pursue the money
trail. And then there is the confrontation between the
developers and conservationists …
When
Skyla and local police officer Hugh Fitzpatrick bring their
work together, she sees the solution.
But can she catch the killer?
