Creeper

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

The chilling new mystery novel from the award-winning author of bestsellers Cutters End, Stone Town and Broken Bay.

Victim ... or killer?

For the last decade, the small mountain town of Edenville in Victoria's high country has been haunted by the horrific murders of five hikers up on Jagged Ridge.

Also found dead near the scene was Bill 'Creeper' Durant, a bushland loner, expert deer-hunter, and a man with a known reputation for stalking campers . . .

Conclusion- murder-suicide. Case closed.

But as the ten-year anniversary of the massacre draws near, Detective Constable Sally White - the only officer at Edenville's modest police station - finds herself drawn into the dark world of the notorious Durant family.

Lex Durant, in particular, has started to publicly protest his brother's innocence and accuse the police of persecution.

As Sally combs the investigation to prove him wrong, it becomes all too clear that each murdered hiker had skeletons in their closet - and possible enemies in their past . . .

'Eerie, vivid, tense. A powerhouse of a novel - I loved it.' Shelley Burr, author of WAKE

'Taut and terrific, occasionally horrific, set aside time to savour this page turner.' Daily Telegraph

'An entertaining, very clever and methodical police procedural.' Good Reading
