The Road to Murder
(2026)(The sixth book in the Detective Jason Farrell series)
A novel by David Menon
A dark Australian police procedural packed with serial killing, cold-case suspense, human trafficking, enforced silence, and elite secrets in rural New South Wales.
A prosecutor is executed. A missing girl's case is reopened. Kingsbrook's elite have everything to lose.
Criminal prosecution lawyer Andrew Fletcher is found dead in a Kingsbrook park, his throat cut in a brutal, targeted strike. With his wallet and phone left untouched, robbery is quickly ruled out.
When a retired surgeon is killed with the same chilling precision, Detective Inspector Jason Farrell and his team realise they are hunting a calculating killer with a list.
The victims appear connected to a jailed crime boss and an exploitation ring reaching into the highest levels of Kingsbrook society. But the case soon collides with an older mystery: a fifteen-year-old girl who vanished thirteen years ago, and a conviction that may have buried the wrong truth.
As Farrell digs into the town's most protected secrets, those at the top begin to push back.
Because in Kingsbrook, silence is not just expected — it is enforced.
The Road to Murder is the gripping sixth book in the Detective Jason Farrell series: a fast-paced Australian crime thriller for fans of serial-killer investigations, cold-case conspiracies, corrupt institutions, and detectives who refuse to back down.
