Unique Stories From Australia’s Outback

ETD book cover final

The discovery of a body dangling from a tree in the Mara Forestry forces newly appointed local police officer Sergeant Michael Ryan to call in disgraced homicide Detective Mark Bannon, known as ‘The Devil’, to investigate the murders.

Detective Bannon calls upon his years of experience in the outback to examine the crime scene, and they soon discover they have three bodies, three suspects and clues lead them to the nearby small town of Blackpond where the residents are unwilling to cooperate with police.

It’s not long before a Blackpond resident disappears under suspicious circumstances, only for his body to be found floating in a sinkhole.

Two years on from his misconduct inquiry and transfer to Mildura, Detective Bannon is off the desk and back into what he does best. Solving difficult homicide cases, hunting down the killers, summoning his split personality ‘The Devil’, and sending them to hell.

This is the first book in the Mara Mysteries Series.

Skeletons In The Closet

Skeletons In The Closet

Two Skeletons. A 57 yr old Double Murder. An Abandoned Farmhouse. A Race Against Age.

Abandon house explorers discovered skeletal remains amidst the dust and decay of an abandoned house outside Mara, the air thick with the smell of mildew and time. They rushed to the local police station, reporting their discovery. Sergeant Michael Ryan and Constable Parry arrived at the horrific scene: two victims, tied up and executed at close range.

Homicide Detective Mark Bannon, nicknamed ‘The Devil’ for his relentless pursuit of justice, arrives at the gruesome scene. A chilling detail sent shivers down his spine. A dust coated child’s pink, polka-dotted dress in the adjoining room. Far too small for anyone but a near two-year-old girl. Fifty-seven years had passed since the murders, adding a layer of chilling mystery to the already unsettling cold case.

Can they crack this age-old mystery with the witnesses and suspects, lying cold in their graves at Mara’s cemetery, their secrets buried with them?

This is the second book in the Mara Mysteries Series.
