Disillusioned crime reporter George ‘Jogger’ Jensen has quit his job at a major newspaper in Melbourne and sought refuge in his childhood seaside home town of Portarlington on the Bellarine Peninsula to contemplate his future.

Within a week he comes face-to-face with the last thing he thought he’d see in the sleepy seaside town: the body of a young unidentified woman being fished out of the sea.

The Maw of the Beast takes readers on a thrilling journey as George grapples with the unexpected mystery in this seemingly quiet community.
