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, his loving wife and two adorable children, 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 and fellow Northern Territory cop, Detective Sergeant Sam Rose, are sent into the heart of the legendary Harold Lasseter, "Lost Reef of Gold" country to investigate the brutal murders. Is it Gold Fever, or simply the twisted mind of a deranged killer protecting that which he believes is his?
