Final Stretch
(2025)(The seventh book in the Maya Thorne Australian Outback Thriller series)
A novel by Phillip Strang
Maya Thorne's day off at Warragulla's Annual Cup Race Meet ends abruptly when jockey Cameron Walsh is found murdered in stable seven.
The investigation quickly reveals that Walsh had been documenting a sophisticated race-fixing operation involving performance-enhancing drugs, coordinated betting, and corrupt officials. As Maya digs deeper, she uncovers a network of powerful interests willing to protect their profitable scheme at any cost.
A massive dust storm descends on Warragulla, isolating the community and hampering the investigation. With communications failing and evidence at risk, Maya must work quickly to identify the killer before more lives are lost.
The harsh reality of rural Australia forms the backdrop to this case – a struggling town desperate to preserve its economic lifeline, even at the cost of integrity. In this landscape where secrets can be buried as easily as they're revealed, Maya discovers that some people consider murder a reasonable price for protection.
