The Lion’s Den
First the Goats. Then the Women. It Started with a Big Cat. It Ends with The Devil.
In
the remote Australian outback of north-west Victoria, a farmer dies
confronting a predator stalking his livestock. Constable Madeline Kerne
calls it in to Sergeant Michael Ryan, who along with homicide detective
Mark ‘The Devil’ Bannon are enjoying a quiet weekend gathering at local
farmer Joe Cooke’s property.
What starts as a routine stock theft
investigation turns sinister when women vanish from the community. Then
Constable Kerne herself disappears, and journalist Condamine Baxter …
Detective Bannon’s love interest.
Rural whispers of conspiracy harden into grim reality.
Bannon
assembles an unlikely team: methodical Sergeant Ryan, stoic Senior
Constable Scott Jackson, and eager rookie PC Caleb Jones. Together they
hunt a predator who knows the mallee scrub around Mara better than they
do … one who understands that out here, people disappear and questions
go unanswered.
To catch a predator this cunning, Bannon must
become what the outback already believes him to be. The man behind the
legend. The monster they whisper about when darkness falls.
The Devil is coming.
And he doesn’t play by the rules.
Some hunters become the hunted.
Some crimes require a monster to catch a monster.
In this forgotten corner of Australia, a killer is about to meet their match.
This is the third book in the Mara Mysteries Series.
