The Rock Art Murders

Skyla Merrick is always in some kind of trouble …
 
On light duties – investigating the theft of rock art – following a near-death experience, DS Skyla Merrick is challenged when ordered to  investigate a series of grotesque murders and weird clues.
 
Quickly the contours of the case take shape. Three rival groups are seeking control over a nearby mountain top. When further murders occur, Skyla realises that all the victims belong to a syndicate trying to establish a nature reserve on the mountain top. This hypothesis is shortly turned on its head by further unexpected events.
 
So who is the guilty party?
The entrepreneur bent on expanding his windfarm?
The mining engineer seeking a new prospect?
The local Aboriginal community protecting a sacred site?
 
Skyla unravels the identity of the villains, but must confront her traumas and fear of death before she can act to prevent further atrocities.
 
But can she catch the killer?
