The exciting new rural thriller from the bestselling author of Wild Dogs and No Trace.

Someone is stalking gold hunters. Now a bushman is stalking them...

Terry Drage is not the first amateur gold prospector to rock up to the Murchison Hotel, brag about an exciting discovery - and then vanish into thin air. But Gabe Ahern is determined he will be the last.

No one knows the land around the remote Western Australian town of Cue better than Gabe - a wild dog trapper who's in his element in the bush. Feeling responsible for his friend's fate, he races there to join the search.

But it won't be an easy ride. For a start, the local cops seem sure Terry going missing is nothing more than a tragic accident. It's down to Gabe to spot the sinister pattern of disappearances and deaths in recent years.

Plus, the last time Gabe was in his old hometown, it was under the very worst of circumstances. And now, to stop a killer, he'll need to confront the ghosts from his past...

Praise for the Gabe Ahern series:

'Tough, fast and hard - my type of book.' - Lee Child on Wild Dogs

'High octane, full throttle.' - Herald Sun on Wild Dogs

'An absolute gem... An absorbing, exciting, page-turning thriller. I highly recommend.' - Good Reading Magazine on No Trace
