Hardened Evidence
(2025)(Book 13 in the Maya Thorne Australian Outback Thriller series)
A novel by Phillip Strang
What begins as a puzzling environmental anomaly quickly transforms into a disturbing murder investigation when a woman's body is discovered staged near the original site. As Maya Thorne digs deeper, she uncovers connections between the exclusive Hillview Wellness Institute and experimental treatments that leave some clients permanently changed—or worse, missing entirely.
When the excavation of the original clay impression reveals another victim, Maya realises the drought has preserved evidence that would have otherwise disappeared forever. With mounting pressure from institute director Dr Martin Hayes and his influential financial backers, Maya must navigate both forensic challenges and the complex regulatory gaps that allowed such exploitation to flourish.
As the investigation intensifies, Maya and her partner Luke Carver race to connect pharmaceutical evidence, soil samples, and digital records before Hayes destroys crucial evidence or escapes justice altogether.
The vast drought-baked landscape conceals lethal secrets where profit and professional recognition outweigh human lives. But in a country where nature preserves what man attempts to hide, some tracks remain visible to those who know how to read them.
