Forgotten Bones

A Maya Thorne Australian Outback Thriller

By: Phillip Strang

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Eight years buried. A drought that broke families. A killer who got away with it.

When preserved remains surface at a luxury resort development in rural Australia, Detective Maya Thorne finds herself back in the region she fled as a teenager. The body belongs to Elaine Mercer, an environmental consultant who vanished while investigating how some properties were destroyed by drought — while others mysteriously thrived.

Elaine had been following the water. Now Maya is too.

The trail leads to a generations-old feud between two powerful families who've controlled this land for over a century. They've fought over water before. People died then, and the truth was buried. Now someone is ensuring it stays that way.

With a drought-breaking storm bearing down on the region, Maya is running out of time. Rising floodwaters will destroy the evidence she needs — and whoever killed to protect these secrets isn't finished yet.

Some feuds don't end. They just wait for the next drought.

For fans of Jane Harper, Chris Hammer, and Garry Disher.

Book 2 in the Maya Thorne series.
