Scrublands

One year after a horrific mass shooting, an investigative journalist arrives in a remote country town to write an anniversary piece, but soon realises there is much more to the story than meets the eye.

Martin’s investigation leads to a series of revelations that draw him deeper into the scrublands and the secrets of Riversend.

The pieces of the puzzle are starting to come together but Martin’s excitement is short lived when his search for the truth marks him as a target, and he very nearly pays the ultimate price.

All the answers as to who Byron Swift really was and why he chose to kill five people are revealed as Martin comes face to face with the true mastermind.

After a long break, Martin Scarsden returns to his hometown in the hopes of spending a quiet vacation with his new partner, Mandy Bond. But his plans take a turn when his mate Jasper Speight is found dead and the only witness and suspect is Mandy.

As Martin continues to investigate the events surrounding Jasper's murder, he and Mandy learn that someone, probably Jasper, drugged her; when family members discuss an old betrayal with Martin, Mandy becomes concerned about their relationship.
