Drop Dead Like Flies

An hour's drive from the small town of Brumby Flat, a new murder mystery gradually reveals itself in a place where hushed whispers of lost people, secret loves and big ambitions collide and spark.
Senior Detective Phillip Duncan is forced to come to terms with a personal tragedy which happened within Beecham's Bridge National Park over 30 years ago.
As the thirty-second and third anniversary of the Park's infamous folk festival begins, pure evil returns. When folk music legend Hannah Dee Wainwright arrives, her 'Diva' behavior rocks the festival staff and locals alike which leads to a quick earthly dispatch. Duncan encounters a motley new band of likely suspects.
Banksia Ava Peterson is a 20-something dynamo who runs the family roadhouse and motel single handed, dreaming of a better life somewhere far away. There's the worldly new partner Duncan must learn to work with. And to add to Duncan's inner turmoil, sparks fly with a sexy young firefighter which will test his new relationship, just as the body count starts to rise around him.
A cold-blooded killer is on the loose in the National Park and no one is safe. Is Detective Duncan too close to the truth this time to see the wood for the trees?
