Description
When a bikie war erupts in the historic Queensland town of Helidon, it reveals a sinister web of crime and corruption.
Child protection worker Dana Gibson is called to attend a fatal shooting at the Criterion Pub in Helidon where a bikie gang war has exploded. Seventeen-year-old Savannah has been caught in the crossfire, and the rural town finds itself divided between two cultures – the commune on the edge of town where Savannah's family live and an outlaw motorcycle gang.
As Savannah clings to life, Dana uncovers police corruption that runs rivulets through the small town, eroding the community's trust in law enforcement. When Maddie, the primary witness to the shooting, goes missing and Helidon is at the mercy of surrounding bushfires, Dana must uncover the depths of corruption that plague Helidon and find Maddie before it's too late.
Rife with suspense and intrigue, Helidon, the third instalment of the Dana Gibson series, is an addictive page-turner.
