A headless corpse
A fifty-year-old secret
And a jungle full of suspects
Private investigator Danny Verity is hired by the manipulative Marissa Ling to investigate her uncle's gruesome murder in the Borneo rainforest.
It looks like a straightforward case. The scene has been staged as a traditional headhunter ritual. But as Danny and sharp-tongued sidekick Gemma Gauld dig deeper, they uncover layers of family secrets, war crimes, and a disputed inheritance.
It seems that everyone has a motive for murder.
The trail leads them from a private island to an oil platform and into the heart of the jungle, where they face angry villagers, hired gunmen, and their client's devious charms. As the killers close in and the jungle reveals its deadly past, Danny must choose. Will he pursue justice at any cost, or accept that some truths are buried for good reason?
A darkly comic thriller of murder, deception and rough justice.
Genre: Mystery
