A possible link to the killer's blue truck makes a tiny speck in the middle of Western Australia called Kutyukutyu the first stop on Eve's quest. But any clue that once lay here is now long gone, and the locals have nothing to offer. To make matters worse a careless collision with a police car lands Eve in a jail cell, facing off with a drunk and a scary small time crim named Kane.

The next cold case on Eve's list takes her to the salt lakes of South Australia. She is desperate for some trace of her killer, proof that he really exists, that he's out there somewhere... but the trail has well and truly gone cold.

Eve arrives in Opalville, a dusty sprawl of mines and the site of yet another suspicious disappearance. She follows her instincts down a mine shaft and into the dark past of a husband and wife whose daughter was abducted a few years back.

The 'skimpy' bar in the pit-stop town of Rome has a new lingerie waitress. For now Eve has put down roots here, tired of chasing Mick across the country. If he's out there, he'll come through the doors eventually.

Eve follows the clue to Wolf Creek Crater where Mick has left her another and more revealing clue - a dog-eared, faded scrapbook containing the horrors of his childhood.
