BLACK GULLY signed paperback - postage included (Australia only)
A MURDER. THE PRIME SUSPECT IS DEAD. A STRANGE SUICIDE NOTE. A DECADES OLD MYSTERY.
In the shadows of Black Gully, the past doesn’t fade—it waits.
City detective Maxine Kane never wanted to be transferred to the Queensland town of Yallimba. But when a man is found dead, a cryptic suicide note in his grasp, Max finds herself tangled in a decades-old crime the town has tried to forget.
The warnings come fast. Leave it alone. But Max has never been one to back away. The deeper she digs, the more she unearths—flawed forensic evidence, long-buried secrets, and a pact between childhood friends that has festered for thirty years. At its core lies the murder of teenager Allen Cheers and the suspect who never had a chance to prove his innocence.
As new forensic breakthroughs unravel the town’s long-held truths, Max must navigate deception, retribution, and confessions withheld for too long. The truth is waiting to be uncovered but in a town built on silence, some answers come at a price.
Black Gully exposes the ghosts of a town haunted by unfinished business. Someone wants the past to stay buried.
As Max edges closer to the truth, the lines between justice and revenge begin to blur.
