Publisher's Synopsis
It's hot, remote, desolate and dangerous - and about as deep into the infamous Australian outback as anyone would dare to venture. An eminent neurosurgeon and his family, on the holiday of a lifetime, are shot dead, their shattered bodies left to the ravages of the desert sun and carrion-eating wildlife.
Detective Inspector Russell Foley and his best friend, Detective Sergeant Sam Rose, are sent into the heart of the legendary Harold Lasseter, "Lost Reef of Gold" country, to investigate the brutal murders.
But is it Gold Fever, the twisted mind of a deranged killer protecting that which he believes is his... or something else entirely?
